Lullaby of the Night Crescent

Hold my hands and sing me to sleep Before the dreams sink too deep Through the night walk me to the shore To a land where greetings are peaceful snores Let the moon talk about the day Let it tell off our journey to the bay Let the stars carry me with the morning breeze Back to the fields, the empty willow trees Let the wintersun embrace the darkness in my head Let it lift my soul from beneath the bed Down the beach and on the shore On the clouds with worries no more Free of speech, my mind sinks to sleep Free of love my heart trembles to keep Free of fear, my shudders float astray Free of noises my ears chase away To safety to nothing make me see To claim a state I may never be Take me to the old willow tree Where the white snow buried me
