sing a cradle song now

as the light fades around us

and you breath like th e ocean

lying small in my arms

see it all in a moment

you so young and unclouded

shingin bright as a lioni

feel the motion of time

as the arth rolls away from the sun

i can feel your life burning

unlived moments within yhou

ruther than i can see

may teh fire be your friend

and the sea rock you gently

may the moon light your way

'til the wind sets you free





i remember your face

as you cried for the first time

the cold air of th e world

and the fierce light of day

and the cruel separation

in a world washed with tears

numbed with pain to unfeeling

may you hold to your truths

as you walk the dark night of unreason





the stone walls which surround us

may your spirit fly round them like the wind from the sea



[chorus]
