Sheep May Safely Graze |
| Sheep may safely graze |
| All the wolves have been rounded up and put to bed |
| Sheep may safely graze |
| There are only days of happiness up ahead |
| Sheep may safely graze, my boy |
| All the crocodiles have been hunted from your dreams |
| Sheep may savely graze |
| Wooly lambs are gamboling by the streams |
| Sheep may safely graze |
| All the lost children will be found in time |
| Sheep may safely graze, my boy |
| Close your eyes, your daddy is by your side |
| And if by chance you wake at night |
| The hollow sorrow that lingers |
| And you grab at the tails of your dreams |
| But they scuttle through your fingers |
| All you can hear outside |
| Is the roar of a city being raised |
| It’s just the powers that be |
| Making it safe to graze |
| Sheep may safely graze |
| The bluebirds have chased the vultures from the sky |
| Sheep may safely graze |
| The day is merely gone now and closed its eyes |
| Sheep may safely graze, my boy |
| All the fishes are leaping into the nets |
| Sheep may safely graze |
| This, my darling, is as good as it gets |
| Sheep may safely graze |
| All the lost children will be found in time |
| Sheep may safely graze, my boy |
| Close your eyes, your daddy is by your side |
| If you shouldn’t wake tomorrow |
| The fences are all torn down |
| The woods are full of howling beasts |
| And there ain’t nobody around |
| And everything seems foreign |
| To your little ways |
| That’s just the gods above |
| Making it save to graze |
| The fox has its hole |
| The bird has its nest |
| But the son of man has no place |
| To lay his head and rest |
