Babes, Mothers and Fathers
Oh my girl, in the time you were born
There was nothin' like you and I knew you were the one
I was born in a time of familiar things
You were born when the apples stopped blossomin' in Spring
There's a river below the house you were born
It flows in the summer and in the winter both
When you feel that the weight of the world has come
I will take you to listen to its watery song
Babes, mothers, and fathers
Written all the same
Leavin' this old world behind
Shine all the way
Oh my girl
Stars in the sky are shinin' for you
I wish upon their ever-changin' evenin' news
I wish upon the wind and the evenin' sky
I wish for you to one day know how much I love my child
Then you'll be a mother with children of your own
And feel the wild blue waters calling you back home
Babes, mothers, and fathers
Written all the same
Leavin' this old world behind
Shine all the way
Oh my girl
Babes, mothers, and fathers
Written all the same
Leavin' this old world behind
Shine all the way
Oh my girl
