Cradle Song by Shriekback
Taken from the album ?Big Night Music?.
( Tab from: http://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/s/shriekback/cradle_song_crd_ver_2.html )
Sing a c[D]radle song now as the light fades ar[G]ound us
And you breathe like the o[A]cean, lying small in my[G] arms
See it all in a mo[D]ment, you so young and unc[G]louded
Shining bright as a l[A]ion, feel the motion of ti[G]me
As the wo[A]rld rolls away from the s[D]un.
I can feel your life bu[Bm]rning, unlived moment[A]s within you
Further than I can s[G]ee.
Chorus:
May the fir[D]e be your friend and the sea rock y[G]ou gently,
May the moon light [A]your way, ?till the wind [D]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
May you never know h[Bm]unger, may you live with[A] a full heart
The light stay in your e[G]yes.
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.
This is my first submission so be gentle with me.
