The main character of this song is Wee Willy Winkie, coming from a Scottish nursery rhyme.

They call me Wee Willy Winkie
I’m tired and blinky
Eyeless and poor, promise I don’t snore by candle light
I kiss the shimmering cheeks of little children
Having some mother
I lost in the street
A skinny jungle child
Wayward and windy
Sinful and pretty
I visit the graves of boys
Dead at war
Shipwreck sailors, don’t ask don’t tell
Sweet fragrance of moon
Has brought me to your room
Where you waft milky magic from that ancient loom

I only have eyes for you
Oh lord please tell me you’re watching me too

My mother I seek
I long to curl up meek
In the lap of your laughter
You wanted a daughter
I ain’t no Jesus
If you give me a dress
I could become your princess

My mother I seek I long to curl up meek
In the lap of your laughter
You wanted a daughter
I ain’t no Jesus
If you give me a dress
I could become your princess

I only have eyes for you
oh lord please tell me you’re watching me too

Thanks Mad Hatter and DrunkenDDonkey (from the forum) for those lyrics !
