Cradle Song

(início)

        D                                   G
Sing a cradle song now as the light fades around us
                          A                      G
And you breathe like the ocean, lying small in my arms
                  D                         G
See it all in a moment, you so young and unclouded
                     A                         G
Shining bright as a lion, feel the motion of time
         A                        D
As the world rolls away from the sun.
                       Bm                   A
I can feel your life burning, unlived moments within you
                    G
Further than I can see.
Chorus:
           D                                  G
May the fire be your friend and the sea rock you gently,
                   A                        D
May the moon light your way, ?till the wind sets you free.
I remember your face as you cried for the first time
The cold air of the world and the fierce light of day and the cruel separation
In a world washed with tears, numbed with pain to unfeeling
May you hold to your truth as you walk the dark light of unreason
The stone walls which surround us - may your spirit fly round them
Like the wind from the sea.
Chorus
                    Bm                      A
May you never know hunger, may you live with a full heart
                        G
The light stay in your eyes.
