The moon is shy behind the veil

The stars won’t speak

Their shimmer pale

A room so still

A heart that aches

Lonely whispers night awakes

A broken tune the dark hums near

The lull of shadows carries fear

Sweet dreams escape they’ve lost their way

In sorrow’s arms the night will stay

Hush now darling close your eyes

Even tears will say goodbye

Hold the night though hearts may cry

In this sad sad lullaby

Wind taps softly on the pane

As if it knows our quiet pain

Clouds are heavy skies are torn

We grieve the day that won’t be born

Hush now darling close your eyes

Even tears will say goodbye

Hold the night though hearts may cry

In this sad sad lullaby

The cradle rocks though unfulfilled

A heavy heart its void is stilled

The clock ticks on a hollow chime

Carves sadness into fleeting time
