lyrics

New life in town and festive sounds
Little berry unripe and plump, a joy to hug
What a pocketful of guiltless light
In that dark room through the night

But the light came to end, to a very sudden end
Overworked, old blood was shed on the floor, bright red
And the shouts, God! the cries, and the fights
A union wrought in lies

Please don’t let him go, please just keep him safe
Please you know his mind, NO!
Please don’t let him reach and keep him in your sight
If anything should happen to this cute and little teddybear
I would die as well

Get away, get away from the fire
In the corner where the boogeyman awaits
Come and play, come and play with the fire
Mommy’s gonna cry, when the colors turn to gray

Please don’t let him hear, please don’t make him cry
Things will be alright, NO!
Please don’t let him see the blood around my eyes
I know you mean no harm to me, so come to bed and cuddle me
And be my own demise

Get away, get away from the fire
In the corner where the boogeyman awaits
Come and play, come and play with the fire
Mommy’s gonna cry, when the colors turn to gray

Hush, little baby, don’t you sigh
This lullaby protects you from lows and highs
Hush, little baby, can’t you see
That mommy and daddy are here for thee
Hush!

Get away, get away from the fire
In the corner where the boogeyman awaits
Come and play, come and play with the fire
Mommy’s gonna cry, when the colors turn to gray

Get away, get away from the fire
In the corner where the boogeyman awaits
You’re gonna play, gonna play with the fire
Mommy’s not around, to deliver you from pain
