Cradle Song by Shriekback
Taken from the album ?Big Night Music?.
( Tab from: http://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/s/shriekback/cradle_song_crd_ver_2.html )
Sing a c[D]radle song now as the light fades ar[G]ound us
And you breathe like the o[A]cean, lying small in my[G] arms
See it all in a mo[D]ment, you so young and unc[G]louded
Shining bright as a l[A]ion, feel the motion of ti[G]me
As the wo[A]rld rolls away from the s[D]un.
I can feel your life bu[Bm]rning, unlived moment[A]s within you
Further than I can s[G]ee.
Chorus:
May the fir[D]e be your friend and the sea rock y[G]ou gently,
May the moon light [A]your way, ?till the wind [D]sets you free.
I remember your face as you cried for the first time
The cold air of the world and the fierce light of day and the cruel separation
In a world washed with tears, numbed with pain to unfeeling
May you hold to your truth as you walk the dark light of unreason
The stone walls which surround us - may your spirit fly round them
Like the wind from the sea.
Chorus
May you never know h[Bm]unger, may you live with[A] a full heart
The light stay in your e[G]yes.
Chorus
The song was written by Barry Andrews, the lead singer.
This line-up of the band included: Barry Andrews, Dave Allen
Mike Cozzi, Steve Halliwell, Wendy and Sarah Partridge,

This is my first submission so be gentle with me.
