The Evening Star (Cheshire's Lullaby)
A poem (intended to be sung as a lullaby) for Cheshire Cat and Nivens McTwisp (his part is in italics)
Where it applies to both of them should be obvious.
Sing me to sleep now,
The evening star,
the one that shines so brightly.
To take me to a place safe and warm,
A place that's fit for me.
The world it has been watching.
The sky it has your sweet image.
The light of day,
Fades away,
Bring me sleep tonight.
Dreamers dream things
That no one else dreams,
The dreamers fall into a daze.
so help them see,
The dream they dream,
And won't you please, consider me?
He knows of the future dear lady.
He seeks of shelter
That i can't bring him.
So take his dreams,
Make him see,
The life that he deserves to live.
I know that he'll be yearning,
To see a brand new start.
So help me please, evening star.
I dream of tomorrow,
i live for today.
The world is waiting for me.
Please guide him.
In a world of dreamers
And their dreams.
Full of darkness,
Hidden light it seems.
Do mot not take my words
For ungratefulness.
For the light that you share
Is heaven blessed.
I pray I'll see the morning.
In the end, we'll all see the sunrise.
We shall go
Where no man has dared.
To the ends of stars,
I'll meet you there.
In the night we sing to you,
Evening star.
So help him see the dream he dreams.
Bring me sleep tonight.
Bring him sleep tonight
Bring me sleep tonight.
Let him rest
Bring me home tonight.
Let him find
A place fit to dream.
