about

Ellymay’s Lullaby: It is again me explaining myself. And in the process letting my daughter know, that, I KNOW how she feels. It is a confession fused with a “beg for forgiveness” note.

lyrics

You were mine for a short,
But sweet, bitty baby time
With golden locks and
Big blue eyes that shined
But I made a mistake
When I dragged you away from Dad
Not thinking I’d crush
The heart of my best friend

So, the last few years
You’ve walked this world alone
Since that big bad wolf
Barged in and stole your Mum
Something changed that day for good
When it cracked your mind
Now, I’m trapped with him
In a big nice house to cry

So, hush my little one
Lay your pretty head
Close your eyes, don’t cry
Your mama’s right here again
Tucking you in your bed
You don’t have to hide
Go to sleep in your
Three-quarter feathers
Lay back in a different time
When your daddy comes in
Then he will sing of
All the fishies in the sea

Like all the birdies in the sky
Like them, we will fly
And not go to land
Until we’re all free
And the hurt is way behind
You’ll wake up warm
And safe and sound
Mister frost there, tickling your nose
Then the sun will shine again
On that sunny brook
The door to the dark will close

“Ellymay’s lullaby…Shhhh…. Go to sleep.”

Never once considered
I would ever go that far
‘Til the only thing I held,
Was my shining star
Flying high on the songs I’ve written
From the grief I caused
No stoppin’ to smell the rose
‘Til the petals fall

So, I went away from home
Just to cry in pain
By lovin’ that big bad wolf
And all my fame
But, I didn’t see too late
Your eyes turn grey
Those golden locks
Now matted and limp
And your childhood slippin’ away

So, hush my little one
Lay your pretty head
Close your eyes, don’t cry
Your mama’s right here again
Tucking you in your bed
You don’t have to hide
Go to sleep in your
Three-quarter feathers
Lay back in a different time
When your daddy comes in
Then he will sing of
All the fishies in the sea

Like all the birdies in the sky
Like them, we will fly
And not go to land
Until we’re all free
And the hurt is way behind
You’ll wake up warm
And safe and sound
Mister frost there, tickling your nose
Then the sun will shine again
On that sunny brook
The door to the dark will close
