Sleep where hath thou gone?
Thy slumber's embrace I long for
Tis but a stone's throw away
Yet a mind's storm breaks my grasp

A night I strive for thy song
A melody to sooth my worries

Oh sleep where hath thou gone?
Many a' eye wish to gaze
Upon the gown which you dress
Many a' ear wish to hear
The tale you tell
Much like a mother’s story
To lull her child
Into your arms

Oh sleep where hath thou gone?
Can you hear my plea?
My eyes are closed
My ears are beckoning

I shall find you one day
And store you away
So a' night you can read
From a book of stars
To lull all the children
In their mothers arms.
