moonwatcher's lulluby - gretchen ratke lyrics

[verse 1]
h-llo, my darling
your mother is here now
and i’ll stay beside you
as long as i can
i can’t wait to meet you
my heart beats within you
and i’ll hold your talons
as soon as i can

[pre-chorus]
you’re safe in your sh-ll now
and no one can tell how
you’re hidden away
in your egg black as night
with no wings ’round your head
there are shadows instead
to surround you and keep you
hidden from sight

[chorus]
i have special words i will teach you
for the times when mommy’s not here
stay secret
stay hidden
stay safe, little one
for you are all i hold dear

[verse 2]
there are two moons above
i am coming, my love
i can feel in my bones
that tonight you will hatch
but where did you roll to?
has somebody stolen you?
no – there you are – silver!
in the bright moonlit patch

[pre-chorus]
there are cracks in your sh-ll
i don’t know how to tell
if i’m doing the right thing
so few nightwings thrive
but then you appear
and it’s been worth the fear
you’re perfect; it’s worth it
just to have you survive

[chorus]
i have special words i will teach you
for the times when mommy’s not here
stay secret
stay hidden
stay safe, little one
for you are all i hold dear

[verse 3]
i will call you moonwatcher
my sweet little daughter
you’ll have the happiest life
any dragon has had
you’ll live forever and ever
the volcano won’t get you
if your father can’t know you
then that’s just too bad
i won’t raise you with him in the ash and the smoke
no water, no prey, no fresh air, no hope
i can’t bear to leave you
but i must keep you safe
you won’t wither away
like another nightwing wraith

[pre-chorus]
oh darling, i don’t want to leave you
there are so many dangers out there
your eyes are so wide
like you see right inside
like your reading my mind
like your one of a kind
i thought nightwings had lost all their powers
that they hadn’t existed for years
but the way that your eyes gaze so deeply in mine
i know that you see all my fears

[chorus]
so now see the words that i sing you
for the times when mommy’s not here
stay secret
stay hidden
stay safe, little one
for you are all i hold dear

[verse 4]
and though it breaks my heart
it is now time to part
preyhunter’s calling
and i can’t have you found
you’re safer out here
for you see what i fear
so hide in the leaves, love
and don’t make a sound
the nights can be frightening
my sweet little nightwing
the thunder and lightning
can seem scary and loud
but one day you’ll be stronger
my secret no longer
you’ll stand wing to wing with me
live side by side with me
my daughter forever
healthy and proud

[chorus]
so remember the words that i sing you
for the times when mommy’s not here
stay secret
stay hidden
stay safe, little one
for you are all i hold dear
