Lyrics
Round and round the blades go turning Little bit of breeze and the night is learning How to be a lullaby in a heavy summer room Moonlight on the floor like a silver afternoon Window cracked open to the far-off train Hum of distant traffic like a slow soft rain Sheet pulled to my shoulder, heart beating slow Nothing left to carry, nowhere left to go Close your eyes, close your eyes Let the quiet harmonize Ceiling fan lullaby, sing me to sleep Turning slow and steady, turning soft and deep Round and round, the night goes by Cool air falling like a sigh Ceiling fan lullaby, hold me near Whisper that tomorrow's coming and I don't need to fear Neighbor's late-night kettle, a cat on the stair Little sounds of living drifting through the air I think about your laughter and the way you said goodnight Ten small words that kept the whole day light City never sleeping but it's learned to breathe slow Every window glowing like a candle in a row I am tired, I am tender, I am home in my skin Dreaming of the morning and the one who'll let me in Close your eyes, close your eyes Let the quiet harmonize Ceiling fan lullaby, sing me to sleep Turning slow and steady, turning soft and deep Round and round, the night goes by Cool air falling like a sigh Ceiling fan lullaby, hold me near Whisper that tomorrow's coming and I don't need to fear Hush now, hush now, the stars are low Hush now, hush now, let the warm winds blow Everything is gentle, everything is slow Hush now, hush now, go to sleep, let go Ceiling fan lullaby, sing me to sleep Turning slow and steady, turning soft and deep Round and round, the night goes by Cool air falling like a sigh Ceiling fan lullaby, hold me near Whisper that tomorrow's coming and I don't need to fear Round and round, round and round Sleep now, safe and sound
