lyrics

The child slept soundly wrapped in dreams
The night was prickled with squeaks and screams
The tawny owl left its perch to fly
A star left the Milky Way and slid across the sky
A star left the Milky Way and slid across the sky

The vole's scream was sharp and shrill
It cried, then was still
The night was prickled with squeaks and screams
The child slept soundly wrapped in dreams
The child slept soundly wrapped in dreams

Morning came with fresh air and rain
Fields and woods sweet and green again
No hint of death
No terrified scream
The child awoke from a long sweet dream
The child awoke from a long sweet dream

A blackbird sang
The world born anew
The child never guessed what the night had been through
The tawny owl slept in the barn
Looking as if it could never cause harm
Looking as if it could never cause harm
