(Begun as a random a capella lullaby to try to get Miranda to fall
asleep while riding in the car. Now Miranda insists that I sing it to
her at "lights out" every night.)
Close your eyes my weary child
soon we'll be together,
Close your eyes and dream a while,
of the deep blue heather
From my watch upon the shore
while you're sleeping sweetly,
I could ask for nothing more
loving you completely
Close your eyes and go to sleep;
Remember that I love you
On the quiet ocean deep
moon and stars above you
Long before we two were 'twain
Springtime always found us
Blazing in the mountain's green
heather all around us
So close your eyes my weary child
soon we'll be together,
Close your eyes and dream a while,
of the deep blue heather
