ethelbert nevin - a bed-time song lyrics

Loading...

sway to and fro in the twilight gray
this is the ferry for shadowtown;
it always sails at the end of day
just as the darkness is closing down

rest, little head, on my shoulder, so;
a sleepy kiss is the only fare
drifting away from the world we go
baby and i in the rocking chair

see, where the fire+logs glow and spark
glitter the lights of the shadowland;
the winter rain in the window ++ hark!
are ripples lapping upon its strand

there, where the mirror is glancing dim
a lake lies shimmering, cool and still;
blossoms are waving above its brim ++
those over there on the window+sill

rock slow, more slow, in the dusky light;
silently lower the anchor down
dear little passenger say, “good night,”
we’ve reached the harbor of shadowtown
