Lullaby Lyrics

Little Annie Lullaby

Don't be bitter, winter's over now, my dear
Sun, your heart has grown anaemic, sickly pale
Night has broken, winter's over now

Nothing can touch you now
No one can harm you now, my love
Nothing can break you, 'cause, baby, you're broken down
Upraise to safety
Safety

Hush, my lover, war is over now, my dear
The world's at peace, the fire's ceased, the coast is clear
Hush, my lover, war is over now

Nothing can touch you now
No one can harm you now, my love
Nothing can break you, cause, baby, you're broken down
Upraise to safety
Safety

The streets are strewn with purple hearts
And soldiers' who have broken
The jails are filled with those who failed to see the stair before them
Dreamers who woke after the schemers who choked
Our words don't have no meaning
And so many never make it home at all

Sleep, my darling, I will chase your ghosts away
When morning comes, we'll greet the sun, soft new breeze
Sleep, my darling, sleep my precious, sleep
