This song is, quite simply, a lullaby. Despite a rather dark turn in the final verse, it’s the only Ghost of Wu song that can almost stand on its own without the context being fully set up.
Performed by Janet Roitz with Lauren Cony, piano.
Little girl
As you sleep, the world rolls on
As you rest, little girl
Night turns to dawnMama’s here
In your dreams, protecting you
Day and night, Mama’s here
Caressing youIn the ever after
Dawn becomes the day
When the sound of laughter
Bids the sun to stayLittle girl
As you sleep the world rolls on
As you rest, little one
Night turns to dawnIn your dreams
Sunbeams dance on your pillow
Twinkling stars delight you
Lighting your waySoon to come the morrow
When you will awake
Once again to borrow
What isn’t ours to takeLittle girl
As you sleep
The world rolls on.Lyrics by Donna Kaulkin
