The Ill-Fitting Garibaldis - My Woollen Lullaby lyrics

There was a time when words just came We closed our eyes shut out all pain And sang a song that beckoned in A new tomorrow The days were long despite the rain Their brightness shone on all the same And bore a song that kept alive Thoughts of yesterday And from these tunes we reminisce Fresh tales emerge now from that mist Of clouded hours, lost in time Such as this one So what of laughs and endless fun? The certainty of more to come Take a breath, calm the mind My woollen lullaby. Recall a time when words had failed Knew the score yet were unable To change the cards we'd dealt ourselves It needs perspective Stuck in a rut, a mind possessed Introspection obsessed Close our eyes to all around As if we're special. Don't forget you're not alone All deep down searching for “home” So drop your guard, freely roam Take a breath, calm the mind With woollen lullabies There'll be time to take a breath There'll be time to start afresh There'll be time to sing aloud A new tomorrow There'll be a time when you are heard There'll be a time - far more absurd There'll be a time you realise Your prayers were answered So what of laughs and endless fun? The certainty of more to come Take a breath, calm the mind (Take a breath and calm the mind)
