Lullaby

"If I could give you three things,

I would give you these:

Song and laughter and a wooden home

In the shining seas

 

chorus:

When you see old Isle au Haut

Rising in the dawn,

You will play in yellow fields

In the morning sun.

 

Sleep where the wind is warm

And the moon is high.

Give sadness to the stars,

Sorrow to the sky.

 

(chorus)

 

Do you hear what the sails are saying

In the wind's dark song?

Give sadness to the wind,

Blown alee and gone.

 

(chorus)

 

Sleep now, the moon is high,

And the wind blows cold;

For you are sad and young

And the sea is old.

 

(chorus)"
