Lulla Bye-Bye

So, lulla- lulla, lulla-lulla, bye-bye,
Do you want the moon to play with?
Or the stars to run away with?
They'll come if you don't cry.
So lulla-lulla, lulla-lulla, bye-bye,
In your Mummy's arms a-sleepin'...
And soon you'll be a-dreamin' ...
Lulla; lulla, lulla, lulla, lulla, bye

Sweet bonnie lass
Snuggle and hush
With a song on the breeze
You’ve no need to rush
Lay yourself down amongst feathers and grass
Sleep bonnie lass, sleep bonnie lass
Sweet bonnie lad
Crickets will sing
You into nod land
Where light bringer’s bring
Dreams to your pillow for you to be glad
Sleep bonnie lad, sleep bonnie lad
Sleep through the night
Snuggle and rest
I’ll keep a look out while you make a nest
Birds as your pillow
Soft feathers white
Sleep through the night

Sing out the dark night
Sing in the new light
As the world turns around
As the year turns around

Hush little baby, don’t you cry
Mama’s gonna sing you a lullaby
Swimming in the land of dreams so deep
May you find a piece of the sky to keep
Drift away on waves of love tonight
Sailing on beneath the stars so bright
Hush little sunshine don’t you weep
Mama’s gonna watch you while you sleep
Cast your nets sail on through the night
Pull them in and pull them tight
Catch your dreams and put them into jars
Mummy’s going to sail you underneath the stars
Lullaby
Hush little darling, dry you eyes
Star sweepers and here to polish up the skies
Your fisher daddy’s gone to catch the sea
From now on it’s just you and me
I’ll stay here counting grains of sand
While you sail away, out to lullaby land
Lullaby

You can only do as much as anyone. And I can only say as much as can be sung.
Battle worn we wear our scars together. Oh there must be something pulling us together.
You can only lose if you choose to fight a war. And I can only sink if I choose to swim in the turbulent seas.
Battle worn we wear our scars together. Oh there must be something pulling us together.
