|
Sheep may safely graze |
|
All the wolves have been rounded up and put to bed |
|
Sheep may safely graze |
|
There are only days of happiness up ahead |
|
Sheep may safely graze, my boy |
|
All the crocodiles have been hunted from your dreams |
|
Sheep may savely graze |
|
Wooly lambs are gamboling by the streams |
|
Sheep may safely graze |
|
All the lost children will be found in time |
|
Sheep may safely graze, my boy |
|
Close your eyes, your daddy is by your side |
|
And if by chance you wake at night |
|
The hollow sorrow that lingers |
|
And you grab at the tails of your dreams |
|
But they scuttle through your fingers |
|
All you can hear outside |
|
Is the roar of a city being raised |
|
It's just the powers that be |
|
Making it safe to graze |
|
Sheep may safely graze |
|
The bluebirds have chased the vultures from the sky |
|
Sheep may safely graze |
|
The day is merely gone now and closed its eyes |
|
Sheep may safely graze, my boy |
|
All the fishes are leaping into the nets |
|
Sheep may safely graze |
|
This, my darling, is as good as it gets |
|
Sheep may safely graze |
|
All the lost children will be found in time |
|
Sheep may safely graze, my boy |
|
Close your eyes, your daddy is by your side |
|
If you shouldn't wake tomorrow |
|
The fences are all torn down |
|
The woods are full of howling beasts |
|
And there ain't nobody around |
|
And everything seems foreign |
|
To your little ways |
|
That's just the gods above |
|
Making it save to graze |
|
The fox has its hole |
|
The bird has its nest |
|
But the son of man has no place |
|
To lay his head and rest |
