A lullabye that doesn't lull


Random question: Why do balding people still leave strands of hair on their heads when it looks worse than being totally bald?

It's a humid night. I have a feeling that it's going to rain later. Fe fi fo fum, I smell the smell of impending rain. So here's a lullabye for you if you fear thunder or lightning. Not that I really think it works. If you like it and want to purchase it, bad news is that I have looked for her cd a few months ago in HMV but it wasn't available. So you can't get it in SG. Enjoy the lyrics anyway.


Lullabye for a Stormy Night (by Vienna Teng)

little child, be not afraid
though rain pounds harshly against the glass
like an unwanted stranger, there is no danger
i am here tonight

little child, be not afraid
though thunder explodes and lightning flash
illuminates your tear-stained face
i am here tonight

and someday you'll know
that nature is so
the same rain that draws you near me
falls on rivers and land
on forests and sand
makes the beautiful world that you'll see
in the morning

little child, be not afraid
though storm clouds mask your beloved moon
and its candlelight beams, still keep pleasant dreams
i am here tonight

little child, be not afraid
though wind makes creatures of our trees
and their branches to hands, they're not real, understand?
and i am here tonight

and someday you'll know
that nature is so
the same rain that draws you near me
falls on rivers and land
on forests and sand
makes the beautiful world that you'll see
in the morning

for you know, once even i was a
little child, and i was afraid
but a gentle someone always came
to dry all my tears, trade sweet sleep for fears
and to give a kiss goodnight

well now i am grown
and these years have shown
that rain's a part of how life goes
but it's dark and it's late
so i'll hold you and wait
'til your frightened eyes do close

and I hope that you'll know
that nature is so
the same rain that draws you near me
falls on rivers and land
on forests and sand
makes the beautiful world that you'll see
in the morning

everything's fine in the morning
the rain'll be gone in the morning
but i'll still be here in the morning
