[Verse 1] In fog and stone and water still a child was born against his will; his mother's blood ran cold and chill, and he made not a sound. [Chorus] Lullay, lullay, my silent one, lullay, and make no sound. He never wanted, love, to leave, and he never will be found. [Verse 2] He grew up wild, he grew alone, on blood and mud, on fog and stone, with not a kindness of his own, and briars all around. [Chorus] Lullay, lullay, my silent one, lullay, and make no sound. He never wanted, love, to leave, and he never will be found. [Verse 3] No arm had held him, none had kept, and when love came, he never wept: he shut his hands, and back he stepped, and laid it in the ground. [Verse 4] Look not upon the moon at night, nor stand before the glass for light, for he that never came to light will drag thee deeper down. [Chorus] Lullay, lullay, my silent one, lullay, and make no sound. He never wanted, love, to leave, and he never will be found. [Verse 5] And when the ground gave way, he smiled, for dark had rocked him as a child, and dark was warm, and dark was mild, and dark made not a sound. [Verse 6] Then quench the lamps, and let them sleep, for stone is deaf, and dark is deep, and he needs none to call or weep: so sing, and make no sound. [Final Chorus] Lullay, lullay, my silent one, lullay, and make no sound. He never wanted, love, to leave, and he never will be found. Lullay, lullay, my silent one, lullay, and make no sound. He never wanted, love, to leave, and he never will be found.
