LULLABY TO AN ANCIENT RIVER

LYRICS

Hear me ancient river
Close your weary eyes
You have traveled far this day

By the golden marshes
Warmed by the sun along your way

The wind will stop and listen
To my simple song
With the coming of the night

And you will sleep ’til morning,
Bathed in the quiet harbour lights

Notes of love I could never write
Far far away
Scarcely heard in the quiet night
And lost, lost in the day

Now soon the tide will be changing (changing)
With a gentle flow
The stars are melting with the sky

And when the storms are breaking
You will remember with a sigh
The night I sang – your lullaby
