Lyrics:
[Verse] Backward, turn backward, Time in your flight Make me a child again, just for tonight Mother, come back from the echoless shore Take me again to your heart like before [Verse] Kiss from my forehead the furrows of care Smooth the few silver threads out of my hair Over my slumber your loving watch keep Rock me to sleep, mother, rock me to sleep [Verse] Backward, flow backward, tide of the years I am so weary of toil and of tears Toil without recompense, tears all in vain Take them and give me my childhood again [Verse] For I have grown weary of dust and decay Weary of flinging my soul wealth away Weary of sowing for others to reap Rock me to sleep, mother, rock me to sleep [Bridge] Mother, oh mother, my heart calls for you Tired of the hollow, the base, the untrue Many's a summer the grass has grown green Blossomed and faded, our faces - between [Verse] Backward, oh backward, Time in your flight Make me a child again, just for tonight Come from the silence so long and so deep Rock me to sleep, mother, rock me to sleep Rock me to sleep, mother, rock me to sleep [Outro] Rock me to sleep Rock me to sleep
