Another Lullaby - Jimmy Webb, Marc Cohn

Close your eyes my pretty child

Though the night is dark and the wind is wild

I will stand beside your bed

Tonight there’s nothing you need fear or dread

You can sleep now, go to sleep

The rain falls and the windows weep

But I’m standing by to sing a lullaby

So close your eyes my sister fair

Though the snow is falling and the trees are bare

And I will hold you by the hand

Tonight there is nothin' you need to try to understand

You can sleep now, go to sleep

See the daytime’s dyin' and the nighttime’s so deep

But I’m standing by to sing a lullaby

Close your eyes my mother wise

When the waves are angry and the north train cries

I stop those ghosts outside your door

Mama, don’t worry 'bout those ghosts no more

You can sleep now, go to sleep

Tomorrow comes but it will keep

I’m standing by to sing a lullaby

Another lullaby

Another lullaby

Another lullaby
