St. Tom’s Lullaby

Lyrics

Go to sleep, my baby boy Through the window, the streetlight will stay up with me I'll be there when you wake up I'll be there when the night comes to call with it's grief And I pray that you will not feel All the weight of what you mean to me And I pray that you will receive Every good possibility The stars The stars The stars The stars Let's go home dad, it's getting late Not one more for the road I know where this road goes And if you have to close you eyes Take your hands of the wheel I can drive us both home Go to sleep dad, you little boy In the house where they made you To sleep in the hall Not a father to sing for you Not a dream left to dream No more dreams left at all The dark The dark The dark The dark Close you eyes, my father's son I will sing you to sleep Though I might sing off key In the dark with the noise in your head Lay your cheek on my breast Though you know it's just me In the morning you'll be okay In the light of the day all the ghosts disappear Though I know it seems far away I will wait through the night I will stay with you here The moon The moon The moon The moon
