Donna Martin: Listen
Lullaby
(Donna Martin)
now that you've made it all the way down
to my deep unguarded dreams
nothing is sacred all the refuge of
the night has been stripped clean
in a swirl of light and air you were
going off somewhere so brilliantly
and from where I've always been aching
down so deep within I watched you leave
out in the open there is a lullaby
singing dark and sweet
I try not to close my eyes and go to sleep
now that you've made it all the way
down to my deep unguarded sleep
nothing is sacred every night I feel
my secret growing weak
out in the open there is a lullaby
singing dark and sweet
out on the air stream right through
the heart of me
Out in the open there is a lullaby
singing dark and sweet
I try not to close my eyes
and go to sleep
