Sing Me A Lullaby


It's a long walk
Down to the lake from here and
I wouldn't trade one step for anything
Because it's a short hike
Back the same way
One dip in the water changes everything

Did your fire burn brightly today
and when they tell stories about you
what would they say

Good night my sands, my pines,
my sunset in the sky
Good night my Manitou isles
The Crib's going to sing me a lullaby

I took a long look
at an old photograph album
the colors seemed brighter back then
and it's a short book
a lot of farm house in the background
I never thought I'd talk about a... back when

and we'll do soccer next Saturday night
but now I'm fading like a counsel fire light
Good night my sands, my pines,
my sunset in the sky
Good night my Manitou isles
The Crib's going to sing me a lullaby

and I can smell the dew out on the Great House lawn
and I will meet you on that church hill at dawn
wild strawberries once covered this ground
now there's not a one to be found.
I miss you so much, my dear friend,

Good night my sands, my pines,
my sunset in the sky
Good night my Manitou isles
The Crib's going to sing me a lullaby
