Baleerie Baloo

Karine Polwart
Language: English


Karine Polwart


I know the warp of a thread
of fibres and filaments silver and red
But these golden stars
Are blood on my hands
Baleerie, baleerie baloo…

I cradled you all in the sun
I cradle you still though the day is done
And these golden stars
Swallow the light
Baleerie, baleerie baloo…

Tomorrow is sealed with a sigh
And I am betrayed by the tear in my eye
And these golden stars
Have fallen to earth
Baleerie, baleerie baloo…

So hush ma wee lammie don't weep
A far gentler hand will soon lull you to sleep
And those golden stars will shine for you and I
Baleerie, baleerie baloo…
