whasianweeb - lullaby for a princess (cain & abel version) lyrics
[intro]
fate has been cruel and order unkind
how can i have sent you away?
the blame was my own, the tragedy, yours
the harmony’s silent today
but into the stillness i’ll bring you a song
and i will your company keep
’till your tired eyes and my lullabies
have carried you softly to sleep
[verse 1]
once did a farmer who shone like the sun
look out on his fields and sigh
he smiled and said, “surely, there is n0body
so lovely and so well beloved as i”
so great was his work and so brilliant his glory
but adam knew eve a second time
which eve bore a boy who they had named abel
little did they know, the first murder would arrive
[chorus]
lullay good shepherd, goodnight brother mine
rest now in moonlight’s embrace
bear up my lullaby, winds of the earth
through cloud, and through sky, and through sp_ce
carry the peace and the coolness of night
and carry my sorrow in kind
abel, you’re loved so much more than you know
forgive me for being so blind
[verse 2]
soon did that farmer take notice that god
had regarded the shepherd’s gifts
but god hadn’t regarded the offerings from the farmer
to his brother’s anger, the shepherd was oblivious
but such is the way of the limelight, it sweetly
takes hold of the mind of its host
and that foolish farmer did nothing to stop
the destruction of one who had loved him the most
[chorus]
lullay good shepherd, goodnight brother mine
rest now, in moonlight’s embrace
bear up my lullaby, winds of the earth
through cloud, and through sky, and through sp_ce
carry the peace and the coolness of night
and carry my sorrow in kind
abel, you’re loved so much more than you know
may troubles be far from your mind
and forgive me for being so blind
[bridge]
the years now before us
fearful and unknown
i never imagined
i’d face them on my own
may these thousand winters
swiftly pass, i pray
i love you, i miss you
all these miles away
[outro]
may all your dreams be sweet tonight
safe upon your bed of moonlight
and know not of sadness, pain, or care
and when i dream, i’ll fly away and meet you there
sleep
sleep
sleep
