Lullaby music and lyrics Gail Martin

Break the bough when baby cries
Let the years of teardrops fly
She’s too young to know much about time
Blame her for your unwise choice
Take away her tiny voice
She‘ll bear the burden of your little crimes

Lullaby lullaby small comfort at home
Dangling in a tree-top
Lullaby lullaby grab your toothbrush and comb
No hand will set your cradle to rock

She can play all by herself
How does she need you to help?
Can’t she see your sadness and tension?
If she screams out in fright
She’ll just have to hold tight
She only does it for attention

Lullaby lullaby small comfort at home
Dangling in a tree-top
Lullaby lullaby pack your toothbrush and comb
No hand will set your cradle to rock

All the damage has been done
So sleep now, my little one
Rest assured the danger is over
Just as you have always done
Set your blind faith in no one
You’ll become your own patient mother

Lullaby lullaby not ours to know why
We’re in trouble the day that we’re born
Lullaby lullaby we just have to try
To love with a heart that’s been torn

Lullaby lullaby….
