Gartan Mother's Lullaby Lyrics

Gartan Mother's Lullaby (Luke kelly Version)
Sleep, oh babe, for the red bee hums the silent twilight's fall
Ee val from the grey rock comes to wrap the world in thrall
A lyan van oh, my child, my joy, my own and heart's desire
The crickets sing you lullaby beside the dying fire
Dusk is drawn and the Green Man's thorn is wreathed in rings of fog
Sheevra sails his boat till morn, across the starry bog
A lyn van o, the paley moon has brimmed her cusp in dew
And weeps to hear the sad sleep tune I sing, o love, to you
