Lullabye

Goodbye
goodnight
I’d turn out the light
but its off
for the power ain’t working
the power is gone
you sleep tight then
rest and dream well then
no white lights to glare down and disturb you
no glaring neon
no screaming siren
rest and be quiet my child
for if we are loud the bombers will hear us
and down from the sky they will give
parcels from heaven
some for boys
some for girls
to hasten us all on our way
So sleep well my dear child
lulled by the flickering flames
rest in peace little one
some for girls
some for boys
rest in peace little one
farewell
