You asked me for a song to sing
To an unborn son
So that he will know me
Even before his life's begun
How do I sooth you when you laugh
And when you cry?
How do I ease your mind?

Like a lullaby
Like a lullaby

She said it's not enough for you to love me
You must love the sky
And the dirt beneath your feet
And the endless questions why
And you must love the chasing time
Like colors flicker in the sky
And we're never going to catch them, no

But we're going to try
We're going to try

Sleep baby boy
And I wonder what you see
When you hear my voice

Quick, quick now, let's grab the time
Like clay it's going to dry
Five years comes along
Five years passes by
She and I will hold you
And each other til we die
And everything we say
And do for you

That's our lullaby
That's our lullaby
That's our lullaby
