James Walsh Lullaby Song Lyrics

Sleep
Do not slumber
Like a river
Deep in the darkness

Here
Here comes the slow descent
To the land of sweet silence
We dream
In the darkness

And though
There is no door
No window
When to refresh your heart
I am near you

Drown
Beneath your eyes
Down to the sea of dreams
They’ll wait for you
In the darkness

Close your eyes
My dear
Sleep for me

Wait
I’m right behind you
Soon I will find you here
Here in the darkness

I’ll dance
With your shadows In the afterglow
Lie down
Real slow
In the silence

Close your eyes
My dear
Sleep for me

You keep on knocking but you can’t come in
Heaven cannot save you from original sin
Keep on talking ‘till the lights come on
Wake up
Wake up

Listen to the darkness
Singing you a lullaby
All your dreams are over
Nothing left to make you cry

Holding hands forever
Reaching up into the sky
Heaven cannot hold you
I think it’s time to say goodbye
