Lullaby

I didn't really have anything in mind when I wrote this, just scribbled it out while I was smoking...

Lullaby

Lay down your weary head tonight
Let the war in your mind cease
Stretch your brittle bones in weariness
And let your thin arms lay in peace
Don't be afraid to let your guard down now
You're safe, so feel at ease

Sing a lullaby for the fragile tonight
Tomorrow everything will be alright
So be at peace my child

The world outside can take its toll
And life will leave you weary
Love will beat you down again
Work will make you dreary
Take solace in the comfort of friends
You'll see things much more clearly

Sing a lullaby for the frail tonight
Tomorrow everything will seem alright
So be at peace my love

Take my hand tonight my friend
Help me lay down my head
This war has gone on in my mind so long
I sometimes wish I were dead
I don't yet hold the answers to the riddles
But tonight I'll just go to bed

Sing a lullaby for the fragile tonight
A lullaby for the frail tonight
Let me lay in peace
