Sweet dreams, goodnight my beloved
If the breaking dawn finds you gone
Our souls, I pray the Lord to keep
Angel, now, shed this earthly skin
Free from the pain, spread now your wings
Free now, to fly, in the presence of the Lord
Your duty's done, a job well done
In the living, the lives you touched
Sons and daughters, now grown
Grandson growing strong
In your living days, the path you showed
In Family love, guided many on the road
In later days, confused, still guided many on the road
In my own hour of need, your love invited me
In confusion's need, we blended in the scene
Your son I became, to live the last chapter
The Story told - Water Babies - images captured
My head upon your chest, wrapped in your loving arms
The tangled story weaved, till sweet slumber found
In the touching telling, life did rebound
Till confusion did consume, taken from our arms confused
Job on the line, comply, "not really family", in reality
To the north-side U went
On the south-side, left to court ordered "play nice"
In your final hours, I was told not
To find out after the fact
Where now to place my grieving anger
The staff i trusted to "tell" me, "soon"
The family, temporarily part of, no calls from
Do I now call with my condolences?
Fuck it all, in "water babies" learned temperance
In demented land, reality is skewed
Skew my pain, skew the blame
In the end, am to live the final chapter
Water Babies on my mind, and in my heart
The gift she gave to me
The gift I now see
Of love unconditional
Let go the pain, and believe unconditional
Live the lessons learned
Living lessons learned
Sweet dreams, goodnight my beloved
If the breaking dawn finds you gone
Our souls, I pray the Lord to keep
Angel, now, shed this earthly skin
Free from the pain, spread now your wings
Free now, to fly, in the presence of the Lord
In the living, the lives you touched
You touched my life , for the better
Goodbye, Mom, sweet sleep.
