OLD HOUSE
Michigan Lilium
by Sara Curtin

lyrics

Rock me tonight, old house.
Tuck me in bed safe and sound
And sing me to sleep.
Sing me to sleep.


Be careful as you lay me down to rest.
Be generous with loads of extra bedding please.
One little shake, a quiver or a quake,
could rock me awake.


Hush hush hush, don’t say a word.
Sleep sleep sleep, sleep little bird.
Dream dream dream, dream how you fly.
Hush hush hush, hush now your cry.


Hold out your open palm.
These tears keep falling one by one and on and on.
Will you catch them for me?
Please take them from me.


But if tonight I wake,
I promise not to stray far from your embrace.
You’ll find me on my knees
With a bucket of bleach
Trying to scrub my heart clean.
Trying to scrub my heart clean.
