Sleep, my baby girl, sleep
Don't be afraid of the world
Cause I'm right here, I'm right
Sleep, my baby girl, sleep
When the wind picks up
And the days get longer, I'll be here
Just when you start to think
That you're all alone
But I'm right here, I'm right here

Stranger ships will pass you in the night
Don't you worry, baby
It's alright, it's alright
You're the beacon, yeah
You're the light
Seen that same look
In your mother's eyes
In your mother's eyes
That's how I know that it's alright

My only regret's taking so long
Finding these simple truths
So I could sing for you

Stranger ships will pass you in the night
Don't you worry, baby
It's alright, it's alright
You're the beacon, yeah
You're the light
Seen that same look
In your mother's eyes
In your mother's eyes
That's how I know that it's alright

That's how I know that it's alright
That's how I know that it's alright
It's alright
Sleep, my baby girl, sleep
