about

Talk about an ear worm! The tune went round in my head incessantly for weeks 20 years ago. I decided it was a lullaby, imagining a mother trying to get a fretful baby to sleep. It is a little bit of calm as the outro for this collection in a world that could do with a lot more peace today and always.

lyrics

Lullabee, lullabee
Sleep will come, lullabee
Close your eyes, lullabee
Sleep will come, baby

Dinna fear, lullabee
Mammy's here, lullabee
By your side, lullabee
Mammy's here, baby

Lullabee, lullabee
Sleep will come, lullabee
Close your eyes, lullabee
Sleep will come, baby

Whit's that cry, lullabee
Rockabye, lullabee
Dry your tears, lullabee
Rockabye, lullabee

Lullabee, lullabee
Sleep will come, lullabee
Close your eyes, lullabee
Sleep will come, baby
