Lullaby for a Grieving Man
)"¨My name is written in your hand
"¨a single line"¨a simple sign
"¨Love don't forget our secret tongue
"¨Don't give my name to some other charming one you'll find"¨"¨
My name is writ there in your palm"¨
Plain as a ripple in a summer calm
"¨Oh darling let me stay
"¨Oh darling let me stay
"¨"¨
On rocks the wise man built his house
"¨Well I'll put on my coat and boots
"¨and I'll head out to find some rocks like yours, dear friend"¨
To find some rocks like yours dear friend"¨"¨
The stars aren't falling from the sky"¨
And this June rose won't fade and die
"¨Time keeps standing still and racing by
"¨"¨So all the while, I'd ask you to"¨
remember crocodile
wherever these pathways lead us to"¨
Wherever these strange pathways lead"¨"¨
A silver strand from me winds back"¨
to where my name is written there
"¨upon your hand, dear friend
"¨I'm written there upon your hand"¨"¨
And the stars aren't falling from the sky"¨
And this June rose won't fade and die"¨
Time keeps standing still and racing by"¨"¨
So darling believe me
"¨You'll never need to grieve me"¨
Because here I am"¨"¨
And the stars won't fall down from the sky
"¨And this June rose won't fade and die"¨
Time keeps standing still and racing by
"¨Not safe not sorry and nor am I
"¨And the stars aren't falling from the sky"¨
And this June rose won't fade and die"¨
Time keeps standing still and racing by
