Lullaby To Erle Lyrics - At First Light - Silje Nergaard

Mothers have woven a black velvet ocean 

And spread it between the night and day shores 

So that children might sleep, gently rocked by the motion 

Of waves beneath boats built by fathers like yours 

With you safe aboard by the shore we will linger 

And watch as your breathing it fills up the sail 

You loosen the moorings, your grip on our finger 

And leave on the velvet a silvery trail 

Alone on the shore with our heart close to breaking 

We stand in the wake as you glide from our reach 

Calmed by the thought that the voyage your taking 

Will bring you at dawning back safe to this beach

We cannot sail with you, be there to guide you 

Or pilot your boat through the black of the night 

But no ocean can keep you, no darkness can hide you 

Away from our love and its undying light
