A Glass of Wine and a Lullaby

I don't have any children

That I can call my own

Still trying to grow this girl 

Resting on her lonesome thrown


Seeds and dreams and childish things 

Still finding ground to rise inside 

From a well that spills downward 

With the gravity of time 


A glass of wine and a lullaby

Is all I need from you tonight 

These roots will weave down deep

To rolling rivers out of sight 


I guess I am as I always was 

A childish heart with stars for eyes 

Reaching up into the sky 

I missed the waters drifting by 


A glass of wine and a lullaby

Is all I need from you tonight 

These roots will weave down deep

To rolling rivers out of sight 


I'm headed out to distant streams

That catch the water from my dreams

To break the dam I close my eyes 

And ride the water as it glides 


A glass of wine and a lullaby

Is all I need from you tonight 

These roots will weave down deep

To rolling rivers out of sight
