You asked me for a song to sing To an unborn son So that he will know me Even before his life's begun How do I sooth you when you laugh And when you cry How do I ease your mind
Like a lullaby Like a lullaby
She said it's not enough for you to love me You must love the sky And the dirt beneath your feet And the endless questions why And you must love the chasing time Like colors flicker in the sky And we're never going to catch them no
But we're going to try We're going to try
Sleep baby boy And I wonder what you see When you hear my voice
Quick quick now let's grab the time Like clay it's going to dry Five years comes along Five years passes by She and I will hold you And each other til we die And everything we say And do for you
