๐ Lyrics
Sleep a little while, my little longing
A lullaby to rock you safe from all harm
My boughs are heavy laden, laden with longing
Longing to rock you out of these arms
Sometimes you appear as sawdust in sacking
I rock you in my arms until your features form
In the murk of the night I can see you clearly
But your face, it fades with the coming of the dawn
And when the sun has brought a bright morning
And my love he rocks me safe in his arms
I'm happy that you're gone, my little longing
For a seed sown out of season will only do us harm
What woman am I? I can hear them whisper
A plum without a stone, empty honeycomb
But when the bough breaks I'm awakened singing
Sleep, my little longing, 'til I find you a home
A lullaby to rock you safe from all harm
My boughs are heavy laden, laden with longing
Longing to rock you out of these arms
Sometimes you appear as sawdust in sacking
I rock you in my arms until your features form
In the murk of the night I can see you clearly
But your face, it fades with the coming of the dawn
And when the sun has brought a bright morning
And my love he rocks me safe in his arms
I'm happy that you're gone, my little longing
For a seed sown out of season will only do us harm
What woman am I? I can hear them whisper
A plum without a stone, empty honeycomb
But when the bough breaks I'm awakened singing
Sleep, my little longing, 'til I find you a home
