[Instrumental Guitar Intro]
[Verse 1]
Sleep now softly, little love
Outside the rain is falling
Mother guards your treasure trove
Hoard of bones and chest for stones
We shall not stay awake through nights of darkness
[Verse 2]
Many secrets darkness keeps
My mind is dark and heavy
Many times I’ve black sand seen
Scorch the grass of meadows green
Deep in the glacier, the fissures groan in darkness
[Interlude]
Ah-ah, ah
Ah-ah, ah, ah
Ah-ah-ah, ah
Ah-ah-ah, ah
Ooh-ooh, ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh
[Instrumental Guitar Solo]
[Verse 3]
Sleep now softly, sleep so long
Late is best to waken
Troubles soon will teach you so
While each day will quickly go
That people love, lose, cry, and mourn
[Outro]
Oh, that people love, lose, cry, and mourn
