Sing, Big Baby Sing Lullaby
Lay your sleeping head, my love,
Human on my faithless arm;
Time and fevers burn away
Individual beauty from
Thoughtful children, and the Grave
Proves the child ephemeral:
But in my arms till break of day
Let the living creature lie,
Mortal, guilty, but to me
The entirely beautiful.
The Din of your days work - now subdued
another day wasted - now
maddening darkness soon to arrive
Your daily round is done with
youve logged off and got the garbage out
answered some tiresome letters and paid some bills
Now for Oblivion -
let your last Thoughts - all be Thanks
Yes my Loves - we have been lucky
