Rest Easy, My Precious
For my daughter, and the one I have lost
Wherever you go in this hard, hungry world,I will love you till the oceans run dry.Wherever you lay down your sweet head to sleep,I will kiss every tear from your eye.I'll be there at your sunset,Like I stood at your dawn.And I've loved you this way since the day you were born. You and I we are one, we just cannot be torn.We are bound like the Sun and the Earth.And the thread's never cut, it has wrapped us in silk,Ever since the sweet hour of your birth.Just cry out in the darkness,I will run to your side.We are welded forever like the Moon and the tide. Whenever the monsters come creeping at night,Whenever you shiver with cold.Remember whenever your heart's breaking through love,That I am a part of your soul.I'll be there for your sorrow,I will share in your joy,For the patterns we weave now time will never destroy. Rest easy, my precious, your Daddy is near,To hold you by the hand through the long night of fear.Take care on the highway, take care on the sea.Take care through the changes that you know must be.
