[00:00.31]Rock Me to Sleep, Mother - Susan McKeown
[00:14.35]Backward turn backward Time in your flight
[00:20.98]Make me a child again just for tonight
[00:27.39]Mother come back from the echoless shore
[00:33.96]Take me again to your heart like before
[00:41.99]Kiss from my forehead the furrows of care
[00:48.64]Smooth the few silver threads out of my hair
[00:55.35]Over my slumber your loving watch keep
[01:03.61]Rock me to sleep mother rock me to sleep
[01:18.76]Backward flow backward tide of the years
[01:25.49]I am so weary of toil and of tears
[01:32.21]Toil without recompense tears all in vain
[01:38.84]Take them and give me my childhood again
[01:47.39]I have grown weary of dust and decay
[01:53.84]Weary of flinging my soul wealth away
[02:00.42]Weary of sowing for others to reap
[02:08.70]Rock me to sleep mother rock me to sleep
[02:43.43]Mother oh mother my heart calls for you
[02:49.71]Tired of the hollow the base the untrue
[02:56.31]Manys a summer the grass has grown green
[03:02.99]Blossomed and faded our faces between
[03:13.13]Backward backward
[03:16.40]Time in your flight
[03:19.73]Make me a child again just for tonight
[03:26.38]Come from the silence so long and so deep
[03:34.81]Rock me to sleep mother rock me to sleep
