A Bed-time Song Lyrics

A Bed-time Song lyrics

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 firelogs 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 windowsill,

 Rock slow, more slow in the dusky light,

 Silently
lower the anchor down!

 Dear little passenger, say "Good night" -

We've reach'd the harbor of Shadowtown.
