Let Me Sing a Song For You
When mother lights up the fireplace
and father reminisces about
the golden days past,
let me sing a song for you.
When sister weaves a shawl
of rainbow hues
and strings of pearls slide
down her cheeks,
let me sing a song for you.
When merry voices are heard
in the streets below
ushering in the heady festive season
but Santa will bring no gifts for you,
let me sing a song for you.
Let my song echo past
the watchful ferryman,
across the forbidden sea.
Upon a serene valley or
a howling moor you dwell
I know not,brother dear,
but let my song soothe your soul.
