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)
