SLEEP ON THE FERRY BOAT

Close your eyes, darling, now close your eyes tight.
Now is the time for surrender.
Lay down your weary head and rest from the light,
Rest from the world you remember.

Slip into shadow and let nothing remain,
Slip into sleep and forgetfullness.
Shadow is taking all the tiredness away,
Float down the river of darkness.

Sleep on the ferryboat, child,
Sleep with a dream for your pillow again.
Sleep on the ferryboat, child,
And I'll be your ferryboat captain.

Cast off the shoreline and into the mist,
Currents of moonlight are rocking,
Shadow sings lullabyes to reward a kiss,
Soon the far shore, we'll be docking.

Sleep on the ferryboat, child,
Sleep with a dream for your pillow again.
Sleep on the ferryboat, child,
And I'll be your ferryboat captain.
