Isle Au Haut Lullaby (Hay Ledge Song)
(Gordon Bok)

   If I could give you three things,
   I would give you these:
   Song and laughter and a wooden home
   In the shining seas


   cho:  When you see old Isle au Haut
         Rising in the dawn,
         You will play in yellow fields
         In the morning sun.

   Sleep where the wind is warm
   And the moon is high.
   Give sadness to the stars,
   Sorrow to the sky.

   Do you hear what the sails are saying
   In the wind's dark song?
   Give sadness to the wind,
   Blown alee and gone.

   Sleep now, the moon is high,
   And the wind blows cold;
   For you are sad and young
   And the sea is old.

   If I could give you three things
   I would give you these:
   Song and laughter and a wooden home
   In the shining sea.
