The Lullaby

Writing this album with a two-and-half year old Luke running under my feet was challenging. Luke was a baby when I released Bare Foot Folk but a toddler during this project, and the early mornings and late nights took a toll on us all! This was a song for him, though I’m sure many mothers, fathers and sisters will relate to the sentiment.

For the sake of your dear father, for the sake of your dear mum, go to sleep now little one. The sunrise it has fallen, and the evening it has come, go to sleep now little one. For the sake of your dear sister, for she can have no fun, go to sleep now little one

So I will tell your father, and he will tell his son, go to sleep now little one. Soon it will be morning, and to fetch you I will come, go to sleep now little one. Lullaby, come now boy, settle down.
