Lullaby To Erle |
Mothers have woven a black velvet ocean |
And spread it between the night and day shores |
So that children might sleep, gently rocked by the motion |
Of waves beneath boats built by fathers like yours |
With you safe aboard by the shore we will linger |
And watch as your breathing it fills up the sail |
You loosen the moorings, your grip on our finger |
And leave on the velvet a silvery trail |
Alone on the shore with our heart close to breaking |
We stand in the wake as you glide from our reach |
Calmed by the thought that the voyage your taking |
Will bring you at dawning back safe to this beach |
We cannot sail with you, be there to guide you |
Or pilot your boat through the black of the night |
But no ocean can keep you, no darkness can hide you |
Away from our love and its undying light |
