Bonfire Lullaby

I see a light
in the centre of your eyes.
Here comes the time
to let the birds free
for their first flight.
Though I tried,
I will never be as wise
as you wanted me to be,
on those nights.

You can grieve,
you can take as long as you need.
Sunlight spies wearing darkness as disguise.
You can cry,
there'll be many arms to hold you through the storms
when I'm gone.

And as the ice hits the ship,
and it's time to say goodbye.
(goodbye goodbye goodbye)
Maybe now it'll come to use,
my bonfire, my bonfire lullaby.

Open your eyes and tell me what you see.
Bright as the day,
or is it cooling as the winter breeze.
Don't be afraid,
I will be there like a shade of a tree,
always watching out for you
to the fullest degree.

And as the ice hits the ship,
and it's time to say goodbye.
Maybe now it'll come to use,
my bonfire, my bonfire lullaby.

You can grieve,
you can take as long as you need.
(as long as you need baby)
Sunlight spies wearing darkness as disguise.
Hmmm
You can cry,
there'll be many arms to hold you through the storms
when I'm gone.
Hmmm Hmmm
