Cradle Me Lyrics

Cradle me, cradle me

Don't you bury me, bury me

They keep me fed

They keep me mild

But I've always been their intrepid child

They do their best,

Love how they can

But can I trust their might over the footprint of man

And I may never see the, I may never see the day

I've been raised by the subterranean highway

And I may never hear the song of the dove winged white

Or hear blackbirds singing in the life of the night

So don't bury me, bury me, bury me

Lay down your tools and feel the heartbeat of the prairies

Just cradle me, cradle me, cradle me

Safe in the ground 'neath the sheaths glowing gold as August's bounty

A northern girl

Young as the spring

Might seem quiet but I'm learning to sing

Was it just a dream

A mere fantasy

Will I ever feel the sun on the back of my wings

And I may never see the, I may never see the day

I've been raised by the subterranean highway

And I may never hear the song of the dove winged white

Or hear blackbirds singing in the life of the night

So don't bury me, bury me, bury me

Lay down your tools and feel the heartbeat of the prairies

Just cradle me, cradle me, cradle me

Safe in the ground 'neath the sheaths glowing gold as August's bounty

Do you know what it's like

Your fortune told when you are born under the night

The tendrils rising from the roots

Where otters go and badgers dig under the fruits

A kindred soul, a legacy

Oh, farmer farmer, don't you let it end with me

So don't bury me, bury me

Lay down your tools and feel the heartbeat of the prairies

Just cradle me, cradle me, cradle me

Safe in the ground

Oh don't bury me, bury me, bury me

Lay down your tools and feel the heartbeat of the prairies

Just cradle me, cradle me, cradle me

Safe in the ground 'neath the sheaths glowing gold as August's bounty
