My Baby Needs A Shepperd Lyrics

(Emmylou Harris)



My baby needs a sheperd

She´s lost out on
the hill

Too late I tried to call her

When the night was cold and
still

And I tell myself I´ll find her

But I know I never will

My baby needs a sheperd

She´s lost out on the hill



My baby
needs an angel

She never learned to fly

She´ll not reach
sanctuary

Just by looking to the sky

I guess I could have carried
her

But I didn´t even try

My baby needs an angel

She never
learned to fly



Oh I ran so far through a broken land

I was
following that drummer

Beating in a different band 

And somewhere
on the highway

I´let go of her hand

Now she´s gone forever

Like her footprints in the sand



Toora loora loora lo

First
the seed and then the rose

Toora loora loora li

My kingdom for a
lullaby



My baby needs a pilot

She has no magic wand

To
help her part the troubled waters

Of the Rubicon

But in my soul I
know she´ll

Have to go this one alone

After all that is only way
she´s ever known



But there is no lamp in all this dark

That
could chase away her shadow

From the corners of my heart

I pray
she´s ride a dolphin

But she´s swimming with the shark

Out where
none can save her

Not even Noah and his ark



Toora loora
loora lo

To the cradle comes the crow

Toora loora loora li

My
kingdom for a lullaby



My baby needs a mother

To love her till
the end

Up every rugged mountain

And down every road that bends

Sometimes I hear her cryin´

But I guess it´s just the wind

My
baby needs a mother

To love her till the end
