- Cradle Song Lyrics / with translationsSing a cradle-song now, as the light fades around us
And you breathe like the ocean, lying small in my arms
See it all in a moment - you so young and unclouded
Shining bright as a lion - feel the motion of time
As the world rolls away from the sun.
I can feel your life burning - unlived moments within
you
Further than I can see...
May the fire be your friend and the sea rock you
gently,
May the moon light your way - till the wind sets you
free
I remember your face as you cried for the first time
The cold air of the world and the fierce light of day
And the cruel separation in a world washed with tears;
Numbed with pain to unfeeling - May you hold to your
truth
As you walk the dark night of unreason
The stone walls which surround us - may your spirit fly
round them
Like the wind from the sea...
May the fire be your friend and the sea rock you
gently,
May the moon light your way - till the wind sets you
free
May you never know hunger: may you love with a full
heart -
The light stay in your eyes...
May the fire be your friend and the sea rock you
gently,
May the moon light your way - till the wind sets you
free
May the fire be your friend and the sea rock you
gently,
May the moon light your way - till the wind sets you
free
And you breathe like the ocean, lying small in my arms
See it all in a moment - you so young and unclouded
Shining bright as a lion - feel the motion of time
As the world rolls away from the sun.
I can feel your life burning - unlived moments within
you
Further than I can see...
May the fire be your friend and the sea rock you
gently,
May the moon light your way - till the wind sets you
free
I remember your face as you cried for the first time
The cold air of the world and the fierce light of day
And the cruel separation in a world washed with tears;
Numbed with pain to unfeeling - May you hold to your
As you walk the dark night of unreason
The stone walls which surround us - may your spirit fly
round them
Like the wind from the sea...
May the fire be your friend and the sea rock you
gently,
May the moon light your way - till the wind sets you
free
May you never know hunger: may you love with a full
heart -
The light stay in your eyes...
May the fire be your friend and the sea rock you
gently,
May the moon light your way - till the wind sets you
free
May the fire be your friend and the sea rock you
gently,
May the moon light your way - till the wind sets you
