Okay this is the third and final installment in my lullaby project. This song had a difficult birth (pun intended) as I had a really bad case of writer’s block. It’s a little schizophrenic but then again I think so is parenthood.

Many thanks to everyone for listening and especially to those remixers who have/will make this baby gift come true.

Baby I’m Tired (or Mother’s Lament)
Baby till you came into my life
i was stumbling in the dark
To blind, to blind to love

Baby it’s been blue skies everyday
since I held you in my ams
The day you stole my heart away

Chorus
but I’m tired, I’m tired, I’m so tired
I’m tired and fragile and worn away
I would have cried except the tears would have washed me away
And the leaden arms that reach the sky
now drag me down
oh these leaden arms that reach the sky
Drag me down

Baby, I love you more and more each day
And I’d move earth and sky
just to see you smile

And Baby, my love for you is true
You’re the sparkle in my eye
Your my everything

Chorus

Baby oh please don’t you cry
for you’re breaking my heart
You’re breaking my heart tonight
