Lyrics

Lay, and put your weary soul to rest
And I will try to do my best to keep you safe inside this nest
And keep the gravity from pulling you to earth

I'd like to say this gets more clear, when it's more cloudy every day
But summer's gonna come and burn the stormy clouds and all the doubt away

    Sleep, little girl, cuz when you wake it's gonna be a different world
    So close your eyes and say goodbye to spring

It's true, this spring is coming to and end
You're not that fragile anymore, I know what's there behind that door
And it's just waiting in the wings to pull you in

I know you think it's safe in here, inside these insulated walls
But I can't hold this house together, not forever, yeah and soon it's gonna fall

    Sleep, little girl, cuz when you wake it's gonna be a different world
    Everything will change, everything will change
    This door's slamming shut, it's gonna trap you if you're ready or you're not
    So close your eyes and say goodbye to spring

Slow down, cuz winter's just around the bend
Don't make a sound, and close your eyes and say goodbye...

    [Chorus x 2]

Love it
Don't know what you were thinking when you wrote this song, but I find it describes perfectly how I feel as a parent knowing what sort of changes are coming for my kids and knowing I can't protect them forever. Very poignant.
