Cradle Song by Shriekback
Taken from the album ?Big Night Music?.
D G
Sing a cradle song now as the light fades around us
A G
And you breathe like the ocean, lying small in my arms
D G
See it all in a moment, you so young and unclouded
A G
Shining bright as a lion, feel the motion of time
A D
As the world rolls away from the sun.
Bm A
I can feel your life burning, unlived moments within you
G
Further than I can see.
Chorus:
D G
May the fire be your friend and the sea rock you gently,
A D
May the moon light your way, ?till the wind sets you free.
I remember your face as you cried for the first time
The cold air of the world and the fierce light of day and the cruel separation
In a world washed with tears, numbed with pain to unfeeling
May you hold to your truth as you walk the dark light of unreason
The stone walls which surround us - may your spirit fly round them
Like the wind from the sea.
Chorus
Bm A
May you never know hunger, may you live with a full heart
G
The light stay in your eyes.
Chorus
The song was written by Barry Andrews, the lead singer.
This line-up of the band included: Barry Andrews, Dave Allen
Mike Cozzi, Steve Halliwell, Wendy and Sarah Partridge,
Hugo Burnham, and Gavin MacKillop.
The album was released in 1986.
