Hush Now

[Verse 1] Hush now, my little baby Time to sleep Time to forget everything Hush now, my little baby Time to sleep, it's the safest place to be [Chorus] And may the years carry you gently May the wonder never leave your heart May the colours of the darkness not scare you And may the sound of my voice always hold you Long after I can't Long after I can't [Verse 2] Wake now, my little darling Time to see Time to begin everything Up now, my little darling Time to see all the things this world can be [Chorus] But how I hope some things stay hidden Until your sweet heart has strength to see For below all these soft clouds there's darkness And a poison that looks oh so sweet Oh, stay close to me Won't you always stay this close to me [Verse 3] Come now, my little grown boy Let me see you Tell me about everything Come now, my little grown boy I know you're strong but today it seems I'm not [Chorus] For the world feels like it's running And I'm back here, two feet in mud Can you believe I once thought I'd protect you? When the truth is you're stronger than I ever was You're my son, my moon Won't you promise me you'll come back and visit me again soon [Outro] (I am now your little baby)
