One day about a month ago when I was a little bored I decided to play around on my guitar thinking that I may or may not find a song along the way. And you know what? I did! I stumbled upon a little something that sounded...refreshing...calming. I decided! It shall be a lullaby! So then, I just let my mind wander while I strummed. I thought of the birds that my kids love to watch flying and picking at the ground in search of grains of food. I thought of the wind and the feel of dusk, the twilight hour. The silhouettes of the trees, the limbs, and how the stars seem to shine so flawlessly on them. I thought of the coyote and how my son always talks about the coyotes at night and his smile when we sit and listen to them running free. I ended my thoughts with the peace behind the darkness and the moon. This is what was created! I have a couple of other lullaby's but the kids seemed to have enjoyed this one more. Unfortunately all I can share with you are the lyrics:)
A Twilight Lullaby
The sun slips a quiet good-bye.
The blackbird flies, silent as a sigh.
The sun slips a quiet good-bye.
And the blackbird flies.
And the blackbird flies.
The night breathes once again.
It sings in whispers with the wind.
The night breathes once again.
It sings in whispers with the wind.
And it calls to me.
And it calls to me.
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hmmm…
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hmmm…
The treetops dance with the stars.
Coyote sings to you from afar.
Knees hit the ground.
Knees hit the ground.
Dusk is bruised, blue, black and gold.
Dusk is bruised, blue, black, and gold.
So hold on... hold on... hold on.
And we sing.
And it calls to me.
And it calls to me.
So close your eyes.
Here’s a twilight lullaby.
As the blackbird flies.
And it says dream sweetly.
Breathe easy.
You and I.
You and I.
And with that have a beautiful night!
