Little Big Man

Well, the stars are out in force tonight

See them pierce the sky

Hanging there in fifty million years of ancient light

The sun, she slumbers, and so do you

Little big man, this one's for you

Well, the solders fight the dragons

And the dragons take a fall

These matchstick men get up again

When you throw them at the wall

Gravity's a traitor until you learn the rules

Little big man, I'll teach them to you

When your shoes grow too small

When your back is strong and tall

When the city's got its claws in you

When you bust your lip

You know your keys will always fit

My door will always be open

When you bellow and you holler

When the show don't make you smile

These clowns, they can be wicked

When you see behind their eyes

You may swing and thrash until your arms fall slack

Little big man, I've got your back

Well, your body in the morning

Warm from sleep's caress

I wonder, will you remember the kisses on your head?

I can give you nothing but the love I have

Little big man, I've got your back
