about

Ange: "Throughout the writing process of Findings I've fallen in love with the idea of weaving elements of traditional songs into our own. This is The Parting Glass sung from a mother to a child and framed within a lullaby."

lyrics

Lie down lie down, lie down sweet babe, for parting must follow the meet. And be not afraid for the dawn it will break, lie down sweet babe and sleep.

And sleep, and sleep, and sleep, and sleep and be not afraid for the dawn it will break, lie down sweet babe and sleep.

And be still be still, be still sweet babe, for morning shall fall into night. Be thankful in thought for the love of the Lord, be still sweet babe sleep tight.

And sleep (Hush baby don’t you cry), and sleep (I’ll sing you a lullaby), and sleep (Hush baby don’t you weep), and sleep (I’ll sing you off to sleep), and be not afraid for the dawn it will break, lie down sweet babe and sleep.

“Of all the money that ere I had, I spent it in good company. And all the harm that ere I’ve done, alas was done to none but me. And all I’ve done for want of wit, to memory now I cannot recall. So fill to me the parting glass, goodnight and joy be with you all!”

And sleep (Hush baby don’t you cry), and sleep (I’ll sing you a lullaby), and sleep (Hush baby don’t you weep), and sleep (I’ll sing you off to sleep), and be not afraid for the dawn it will break, lie down sweet babe and sleep.
