Lullaby - Ben Caplan

The market is empty

The butcher’s gone home

The candles have spent — soon the light will be gone

Soften your brow, dear

Breath slow and deep

Let your eyes close as you drift off to sleep

The moon in the window

The sun in the sea

Now is the quiet — just baby and me

And the sun will sleep in the ocean tonight

And the cool of the water makes everything right

And the ocean once dreamed it could shine high above

But protecting, reflecting the sun is enough

We used to go dancing

We used to drink wine

We used to buy flowers and now we buy time

Mommy and daddy would work bear our hands

To make sure you have all you need in this land

The moon in the window

The sun in the sea

Now is the quiet — just baby and me

And the sun will sleep in the ocean tonight

And the cool of the water makes everything right

And the ocean once dreamed it could shine high above

But protecting, reflecting the sun is enough

And the sun will sleep in the ocean tonight

And the cool of the water makes everything right

And the ocean once dreamed it could shine high above

But protecting, reflecting the sun is enough

Protecting, reflecting the sun is enough
