St. Tom's Lullaby

Go to sleep my baby boy
Through the window the streetlight will stay up with me
I'll be there when you wake up
I'll be there when night comes to call with its grief
And I pray that you will not feel
All the weight of what you mean to me
And I pray that you will receive
Every good possibility
The stars
The stars
The stars
The stars
Let's go home Dad it's getting late
Not one more for the road; I know where this road goes
And if you have to close your eyes
Take your hands off the wheel, I can drive us both home
Go to sleep Dad, you little boy
In the house where they made you to sleep in the hall
Not a father to sing for you
Not a dream left to dream. No more dreams left at all
The dark
The dark
The dark
The dark
Close your eyes my father's son
I will sing you to sleep, though I might sing off key
In the dark with the noise in your head
Lay your cheek on my breast though you know it's just me
In the morning you'll be okay
In the light of the day all the ghosts disappear
Though I know it seems far away
I will wait through the night, I will stay with you here
The moon
The moon
The moon
The moon
