Lyrics

Just A Little Boy (Live) (The Gate)

[Verse 1]

Now I sleep...

In the belly of woman

And I sleep, I sleep...

In the belly of birth... [vocalisations]

And I sleep... [vocalisations]

In the belly of rhythm

And I sleep... [vocalisations]

In the belly of love... [vocalisations]

[Verse 2]

Sssssss... Sssssss...

Sssssss... Sssssss...

And I sleep...

In the belly of oceans

And I sleep...

In the belly of you

[Vocalisations]

[Verse 3]

I'm just a little boy

I'm just a little boy

[Gibberish]

Love, love

Love, love

Love, love

I need love

I need love

[Vocalisations]

[Outro]

Living in a wonderland

Living in a wonderland

Living in a wonderland
