Here Is A Song For You

Here Is A Song For You

The earth turned 'round, the sun went down
Shadows fell upon the town
I made a tune the hoot owl knew
Into a song for you
A song, a song for us to play
When shadows fall upon the day
A song to carry you away
Here is a song for you

Down went the sun, up came the moon
One note, two notes became a tune
As word followed word the story grew
Into a song for you
A song that says that it's okay
Turn out the light of another day
A song to carry you away
Here is a song for you

When awake comes the moon
Asleep the sun
Who needs a lullaby? Everyone
Who do I most want to sing it to?
Here is a song for you
A song, a song to help you sleep
Slumber safe and warm and deep
A song that says that it's okay
To let your dreams drift far away
Until today is yesterday
Here is a song, here is a song
Here is a song for you

This song appears on Tom Chapin's Threads CD.
