Shriekbak - Cradle Song Lyrics

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]
