The Garton Mother's Lullaby Lyrics by Barbara Dickson

Sleep, oh babe, for the red bee hums the silent twilight fall
Eva from the grey rock comes to wrap the world in thrall
And lyin\' there oh, my child, my joy, my love and heart\'s desire
The crickets sing you lullaby beside the dying fire

Dusk is drawn and the green man\'s horn is wreathed in rings of fog
Sheevra sails his boat \'till morn, across a starry bog
And over it all the paley moon has gleaned her cusp in dew
And weeps to hear the sad sleep tune I sing, o love, to you

Sleep, oh babe, for the red bee hums the silent twilight fall
Eva from the grey rock comes to wrap the world in thrall
And lyin\' there oh, my child, my joy, my own and heart\'s desire
The crickets sing you lullaby beside the dying fire
