Adrienne found this Irish lullaby whilst searching for lullabies for Paul and Louise’s “Faerie Child” Evangeline (Evie to her friends). It must have worked too, as she has always been a good sleeper!

lyrics

Sleep oh babe for the red bees hum the silent twilight's fall
the bean sidhe from the grey rock comes to wrap the world in thrall
Lyn van Oh my child my joy my love and heart’s desire
the crickets sing you a lullaby beside the dying fire

Dusk is drawn and the green man's thorn is wreathed in rings of fog
Sheevra sails his boat 'till dawn upon the starry bog
Lyn van Oh the paley moon has brimmed her cusp in dew
and weeps to hear the sad sleep song I sing my love to you

A silky, smooth, sultry voice weaving lyrical imagery upon a canvas of exquisite tonal contours. Immensely pleasurable. The bouncy cheer of " Little Bird" is a delightful contrast to the dusky jazz groove of this truly beautiful album. Much gratitude for you S J ! roddylloyd

Your words and music speak so eloquently to the things I believe... you are the Bard who tells the world of us, the Cauldron born and of our Pagan ways, Goddesses and Gods. 'Green & Grey' resonates so clearly to who I am that it has become my theme tune. 🧙‍♂️🌳💚 colinwoody
