Paragraph Lyric
Let the sun gather round my shoulders
And I will forget my loss
For I had a child
Whose skin was soft as summer
As I laid her down for sleep

But she says,
"Father don't leave me
My dreams have turned to black"

Listen here, my only daughter, closely
And you can sleep in peace
For I have strong hands
And a cautious eye for danger
So you can sleep in peace

But she says,
"Father don't leave me
My skin has turned to white"

Listen here, my only daughter, closely,
And you can sleep in peace
For my house is warm
From the winds that blow so coldly
So you can sleep in peace

But she says,
"Father stay closely
My heart, it's cold like stone"

My daughter sleeps
But she will not be dreaming
Her breathing grows so weak
My heart tears the skin
A bird has lost its feathers
My hands, they grow so weak

The moon rises over my apartment
but I can't look fondly on

Let the earth gather round my daughter
And I will forget my loss
For I had a child
Whose skin was soft as summer
As I laid her down for sleep
Let the sun gather round my shoulders   And I will forget my loss   For I had a child   Whose skin was soft as summer   As I laid her down for sleep      But she says,   "Father don't leave me   My dreams have turned to black"      Listen here, my only daughter, closely   And you can sleep in peace   For I have strong hands   And a cautious eye for danger   So you can sleep in peace      But she says,   "Father don't leave me   My skin has turned to white"      Listen here, my only daughter, closely,   And you can sleep in peace   For my house is warm   From the winds that blow so coldly   So you can sleep in peace       But she says,   "Father stay closely   My heart, it's cold like stone"      My daughter sleeps   But she will not be dreaming   Her breathing grows so weak   My heart tears the skin   A bird has lost its feathers   My hands, they grow so weak      The moon rises over my apartment   but I can't look fondly on      Let the earth gather round my daughter   And I will forget my loss   For I had a child   Whose skin was soft as summer   As I laid her down for sleep
