The Chieftains
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
