Hush Now Letra

Hush now my little baby
Time to sleep, it's the safest place to be
And may the years carry you gently
May the wonder never leave your heart
May the colours of the darkness not scare you
And may the sound of my voice always hold you
Long after I can't
Long after I can't

Wake now my little darling
Time to see
Time to begin everything
Up now my little darling
Time to see all the things this world can be
But how I hope some things stay hidden
Until your sweet heart has strength to see
For below all these soft clouds there's darkness
And a poison that looks oh so sweet
Oh, stay close to me
Won't you always stay this close to me

Come now my little grown boy
Let me see you
Tell me about everything
Come now my little grown boy
I know you're strong but today it seems I'm not
For the world feels like it's running
And I'm back here, two feet in mud
Can you believe I once thought I'd protect you?
When the truth is you're stronger than I ever was
You're my son, my moon
Won't you promise me you'll come back and visit me again soon
