A song for the children. Recorded live in Edinburgh.
"I wanted to write a song for the children and what was more natural than a lullaby...the children are now way past that stage and Stephen's suggestion of bringing two songs I sing together seems to work well. It is also in a way very fitting, as I seem to turn around these days and they've grown." Pernille
lyrics
Lullaby (Pernille R. Quigg)
Sleep my children,
Long the night,
When the dawn breaks,
I'll be at your side.
Cold the evening,
Dew falls fast,
Close the window,
Moonlight shadows cast.
Watch the dark sky,
Like an ocean wide,
Wonder if the starfish,
Sees a brother on the sky.
Turn Around (Malvina Reynolds)
Where are you going, my little one, little one
Where are you going, my baby, my own?
Turn around and you're two
Turn around and you're four
Turn around and you're a young man going out of my door
Turn around, turn around
Turn around and you're a young man going out of my door
Where are you going, my little one, little one
Little sunsuits and petticoats, where have you gone
Turn around and you're tiny
Turn around and you're grown
Turn around and you're a young wife with babes of your own
Turn around, turn around
Turn around and you're a young wife with babes of your own
