about

Written for the Battlefield Band’s Davy Steele, I think this song can be for whoever it makes you think of. I am usually a person who sings in large groups, but this song made me brave enough to sing it around a campfire at Numeralla for the last few people still awake. - Claire

lyrics

Lay me down gently, lay me down low
I fear I am broken and won’t mend, I know
One thing I ask when the stars light the skies
Who now will sing me lullabies?
Oh who now will sing me lullabies?

In this big world I’m lonely, for I am but small
Oh angels in heaven, don’t you care for me at all?
You heard my heart breaking for it rang through the skies
So why don’t you sing me lullabies?
Oh why don’t you sing me lullabies?

I lay here; I’m weeping for the stars they have come
I lay here not sleeping; now the long night has begun
The man in the moon, oh he can’t help but cry
For there’s no one to sing me lullabies
Oh there’s no one to sing me lullabies

So lay me down gently, oh lay me down low
I fear I am broken and won’t mend, I know
One thing I ask when the stars light the skies
Who now will sing me lullabies?
Oh who now will sing me lullabies?

Who will sing me to sleep?
Who will sing me to sleep?
Who will sing me to sleep?
Oh lullabies
