To You I Bid Farewell and Goodnight (Your Lullaby)

by toby cunningham   May 3, 2008


Rising high,
Into the grey skies of the night.
Masked by clouds,
You will soon be out of sight.
Starlight glow,
Leads you on your way.
The moon's "hello",
Brings an end to day.

In the distance,
I will wait for thee.
As I cast my gaze,
Over the empty seas.
The empty seas,
Which wash away our fears.
Thoughtless thoughts,
Disappearing in our tears.

Your lullaby, whispers soft goodbyes,
With words of sorrow,
Blinded by the lights you follow.
But no matter what I do,
I will never get to you.
So to you, I bid
Farewell and goodnight
(One more time, farewell and goodnight)

Distant dreams,
Cast off to lands afar.
Where you discover,
Who and what you are.
Forgotten truths,
Flicker and fade away.
Carried off,
Gently on the waves.

Heaven-sent landscapes,
Bathed in the ocean breeze.
Golden shorelines,
As far as you're eyes can see.
Come back to me,
Without a care my dear,
We could make our way,
Along the ocean clear.

Your lullaby, whispers soft goodbyes,
With words of sorrow,
Blinded by the lights you follow.
But no matter what I do,
I will never get to you.
So to you, I bid
Farewell and goodnight
(One more time, farewell and goodnight)

So long.
Goodbye.
Farewell and Goodnight.

So long.
Goodbye.
Farewell and Goodnight

So long.
Goodbye.
Farewell and Goodnight.

So long.
Goodbye.
Farewell and Goodnight
