You wished the Earth would swallow you up
To live under the stars above
Underground with beautiful shapes
Hand shadows
Move both hands very slowly across the screen
A silhouette appears suddenly through the beam
Your fingers are the most nimble I’ve ever seen
The light is too faint
To see your face
But I can feel
That you’re out of breathe
You wished the Earth would swallow you up
To live under the stars above
Underground with beautiful shapes
Hand shadows
Make two baby birds or a woodpecker
An elephant or a snake
Make an Old King Cole or a clown
An Old Mother Hubbard and her dog
You wished the Earth would swallow you up
To live under the stars above
Underground with beautiful shapes
Hand shadows
