Lyrics: Olivier Deriviere
Music: Olivier Deriviere
Slumber, child, slumber, and dream, dream, dream
Let the river carry you back to me
Dream, my baby, 'cause
Mama will be there in the mornin'
Last night under bright strange stars
We left behind the men that caged you and me
Runnin' toward a promise land
Mama will be there in the mornin'
Trust nothin' and no one in this strange, strange land
Be a mouse and do not use your voice
River tore us apart, but I'm not too far 'cause
Mama will be there in thΠ΅ mornin'
Do you still dream? Do you, do you sleep still?
I fill my pockets full of stones and sink
ThΠ΅ river will flow, and the sun will shine 'cause
Mama will be there in the mornin'
Slumber, child, slumber, and dream, dream, dream
The river murdered you and now it takes me
Dream, my baby
Mama will be there in the mornin'
You may not know me because I changed (Ooh, I changed)
But mama will not stop lookin' for her baby (For her baby)
When the river takes, the river gives
And mama will search as long as she lives (She lives)
Dream
Dream, my baby
Mama will be there in the mornin'
Mama will be there in the mornin'
