She crochets the stars
Knit me a lullaby
Knit me to sleep
Knit me the night-time
Soft and deep
Crochet the stars
With your dainty hook
Knit me some counting sheep
Knit me a crook
Spin me a story
Spin me the moon
Spin me the milky way
Sleep will come soon
Wrap me in starlight
And indigo lace
Wrap me in silence
Wrap me in space
Weave me a basket
Filled with dreams
Weave it with riversong
Fished from a stream
And in the morning
Prove it was you –
Crochet a cobweb
Decked with dew.
