lullaby

dream away the daytime
float into the dreamland
tears are stars, laughter is night-breeze
come away and rest

morning hides its brightness
moonlight breaks the darkness
tears in the sky are raining down
float away on the river

dream river, carry me homeward
the night holds me close to its own
the sunrise will sing and the daytime will carry on
but the night brings dreams in whispers
the rain runs to the river.

daylight sooths the shadows
sunlight warms the flowers
bright lights awaken, dreamland subsides
but my soul will live on the river

dream river, carry me homeward
the night holds me close to its own
the beauty of daytime holds harshness to my eyes
but the night brings dreams in whispers
the rain runs to the river.
