[Verse]

The velvet curtain falls across the day

The golden lamp is dimmed and tucked away

A billion tiny diamonds start to gleam

Above the cradle where you drift and dream

The silver dust is settling on the floor

As peace comes walking through the nursery door

[Verse]

The giant orbits hum a quiet tune

Beside the smiling saucer of the moon

The rings of Saturn spin like carousel wheels

To show you how the gentle evening feels

Old Jupiter is watching from the height

To keep you anchored in the deep of night

[Pre-Chorus]

The Milky Way is rolling out a path

Far from the daytime noise and icy wrath

A blanket made of nebula and frost

Where heavy hearts and burdens all get lost

[Chorus]

Sail beyond the edges of the sky

Where ancient blinking lanterns never die

Floating on a sea of violet ink

Before your sleepy lashes catch a wink

The universe is rocking you to sleep

In promises the cosmic brothers keep

[Verse]

Red Mars is glowing like a steady coal

To warm the quiet corners of your soul

And Venus wears a dress of morning white

To usher in the fading of the light

The constellations gather in a row

To light the only road you need to know

[Verse]

Through windows made of crystal and of glass

You watch the wandering comets as they pass

No gravity can hold your spirit down

Beneath the jewels of the midnight crown

The mercury is falling in the glass

While shadows on the nursery ceiling pass

[Pre-Chorus]

The Milky Way is rolling out a path

Far from the daytime noise and icy wrath

A blanket made of nebula and frost

Where heavy hearts and burdens all get lost

[Chorus]

Sail beyond the edges of the sky

Where ancient blinking lanterns never die

Floating on a sea of violet ink

Before your sleepy lashes catch a wink

The universe is rocking you to sleep

In promises the cosmic brothers keep
