Lay down your head, oh weary song
And I’ll brush my hands over your little eye lashes,
Close your thoughts to the world around
and I’ll sing you a sweet lullaby
A song that soothes, oh busy brain
And calms the accusatory words of the masses
So the space that is left between
Resurrects the sun into the sky
Listen sweetly, oh broken heart
To the melody of this bright earth’s flowered grasses
For in it you’re a shining star
Nostalgic as the blinking firefly
Know now, oh with thy wistful soul
This song will be written in ever-loving ashes
A contract ever prevailing
And forever your sweet lullaby
