Ode to Samaria ft. Tania Vinokur Lyrics

Hush little baby, don't say a word

In the city, children weep

In the country, mothers can't sleep

I know the man who puts terror in dreams

And the sirens play their little tune while

the jackals howl to the moon

This hole keeps on filling with all of the doomed

Hush little baby don't you cry

Hush little baby don't say a word

Mama's not comin' home

And the watchmen sleep at their post

while the babies sit there and roast

The light from the lighthouse ain't lighting the coast

And the monster runs wild and free

while its hunters have fled to the sea

This thirst that its quenching is thirsting for me

Hush little baby don't you cry

Hush little baby don't you cry

Mama won't say goodbye

Hush little baby don't you cry

Hush little baby don't say a word

Mama's not comin' home
