Come Little Children - From Hocus Pocus (Cover by Hildegard von Blingin')

Details

Description

Glad tidings for Autumn and the upcoming All Hallows' Eve! Oh, and happy Friday the 13th as well. In honour of spooky season, I offer you this cover of Come Little Children (Sarah's Theme), composed by James Horner for Hocus Pocus. The extended lyrics have some rather foggy origins, but I discovered them through Erutan's wonderful cover of this song.

The Art:
The art was heavily altered by me from paintings found in the “Weingartner Stifterbüchlein”, c 1510

The Lyrics:
Come little children
I'll take thee away
Into a land of enchantment

Come little children
The time's come to play
Here in my garden of magic

Follow sweet children
I'll show thee the way
Through all the pain
And the sorrow

Weep not poor children
For life is this way
Murdering beauty and passion

Hush now dear children
It must be this way
Too weary of life
And deceptions

Rest now my children
For soon we'll away
Into the calm and the quiet

Come little children
I'll take thee away
Into a land of enchantment

Come little children
The time's come to play
Here in my garden of magic
