Lullaby whoever you are
Let sobbing fade to sleep.
Lullaby wherever you are,
whatever has made you weep.
May this melody reach out and find you,
settle your mind at ease.…

Climbing up a mountain
At least three miles high—
That’s where I am going;
Except I think I’ll fly—…
Swallows swoop beside me

Daylight is gathering into the west.
Hush lullaby, baby; hush lullaby.

in the day
when the light slips away
When the sun
says it’s done
with another rerun…
