Lullaby for the Dead
[Verse 1]
Like the sun quenched its first dawning
The moon lost to the sea
Like the dew lost unto the morning
So you, my love, were lost to me
[Verse 2]
I can hear now the pipers calling
On that far distant shore
And my tears now like leaves are falling
And I will see your face no more
[Bridge]
You are sleeping, you are sleeping
Oh, no sleep or peace can comfort me
I am weeping, oh, I am weeping
Till I will sleep in sleep with thee
[Instrumental Break]
[Bridge]
You are sleeping, you are sleeping
Oh, no sleep or peace can comfort me
I am weeping, oh, I am weeping
Till I will sleep in sleep with thee
[Outro]
Seoithín seo hó, seoithín seó
Seoithín seo, seoithín ó
Seoithín seo hó, ó seoithín seó
Till I will sleep in sleep with thee
Like the sun quenched its first dawning
The moon lost to the sea
Like the dew lost unto the morning
So you, my love, were lost to me
[Verse 2]
I can hear now the pipers calling
On that far distant shore
And my tears now like leaves are falling
And I will see your face no more
[Bridge]
You are sleeping, you are sleeping
Oh, no sleep or peace can comfort me
I am weeping, oh, I am weeping
Till I will sleep in sleep with thee
[Instrumental Break]
[Bridge]
You are sleeping, you are sleeping
Oh, no sleep or peace can comfort me
I am weeping, oh, I am weeping
Till I will sleep in sleep with thee
[Outro]
Seoithín seo hó, seoithín seó
Seoithín seo, seoithín ó
Seoithín seo hó, ó seoithín seó
Till I will sleep in sleep with thee
