Sheep May Safely Graze

歌詞

Sheep may safely graze All the wolves have been rounded up and put to bed Sheep may safely graze There are only days of happiness up ahead Sheep may safely graze, my boy All the crocodiles have been hunted from your dreams Sheep may savely graze Wooly lambs are gamboling by the streams Sheep may safely graze All the lost children will be found in time Sheep may safely graze, my boy Close your eyes, your daddy is by your side And if by chance you wake at night The hollow sorrow that lingers And you grab at the tails of your dreams But they scuttle through your fingers All you can hear outside Is the roar of a city being raised It's just the powers that be Making it safe to graze Sheep may safely graze The bluebirds have chased the vultures from the sky Sheep may safely graze The day is merely gone now and closed its eyes Sheep may safely graze, my boy All the fishes are leaping into the nets Sheep may safely graze This, my darling, is as good as it gets Sheep may safely graze All the lost children will be found in time Sheep may safely graze, my boy Close your eyes, your daddy is by your side If you shouldn't wake tomorrow The fences are all torn down The woods are full of howling beasts And there ain't nobody around And everything seems foreign To your little ways That's just the gods above Making it save to graze The fox has its hole The bird has its nest But the son of man has no place To lay his head and rest
