about

The beauty and terror and wonder of being up late, singing your child to sleep.

lyrics

LULLABY FOR MY LOVE

Go to sleep, little darlin', take your rest,
Tomorrow everything'll be just fine

There's car doors slammin'
And streetcars clatterin'
But don't you pay them any mind

Go to sleep, little darlin', let your cradle rock
Tomorrow everything'll be just fine
Go to sleep, little darlin’, hmm-mm-mm-mmm
Hmmm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mmm-mmm

Somewhere in our city
Sirens are howlin'
Someone's house is burning down
Somewhere in a forest
The trees, they’re all dying
They're all being chopped down

But let me think about all these things
as you take your rest
As this troubled world goes round
(and round and round and round and round)
Go to sleep, little darlin', take your rest,
Everything'll be safe and sound . . .

Go to sleep, little darlin', go to sleep my love
Tomorrow everything'll be just fine
Go to sleep, little darlin', go to sleep
Tomorrow the sun will shine
Tomorrow the sun will shine
