Sleep, Baby, Do: A Lullaby

A lullaby with a bit of a morbid twist.

Close your eyes, baby rest your head

Fall asleep baby do

Dream of fields of gold and red

Long for big skies so blue

Days they pass, nothing ever lasts

Fall asleep baby do

Nightmares come and the shadows cast

Soon they will have claimed you

Not a wink, not a laugh

Not a smile, not a breath

Not a hope, or a wish to come true

As you lay there still, so you always will

Fall, fall asleep baby do

Fall, fall asleep baby do
