lyrics

"Lullaby for a Pure Heart"

As we lay abed
And as you rest your eyes
Now at the end of the day
I can see you slippin’, slippin’ away
Fallin’ towards sleep through a quilted space
Floating like a leaf, twirling in place,
Swirlin’ slowly round as you come to rest
Nestled for the night
Restin’ in that center of joy and light.

And are you sleepin’ Carolyn?
Are you sleepin’ my darlin’?
Are you sleepin’ my Carolyn?
Or are you transported up to some heaven?

Pasture rose petals on your lips,
Scent of strawberry on your fingertips,
Sunlight in your hair
And softness everywhere.

And are you sleepin’ Carolyn?
Are you sleepin’ my darlin’?
Are you sleepin’ my Carolyn?
Or are you up, up and away with some angels dancin’?

Are you off swimmin’ with some bare back dolphin
Swimmin’ in some warm sunlit ocean?
Or are you sleepin’ Carolyn?
Or are you dreamin’?
Or are you swimmin’?
Swimin’ in some ocean
Of joy and Light?

Or are you sleepin’ Carolyn?
Are you sleepin’ my darlin’?
Are you sleepin’ my Carolyn?
Or are you off across the Milkway
in pure starlight
twinklin’?
