Sadie Rivers - Refugee's Lullaby Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Tea leaves swirling in a chipped cup
Newcastle skies paint shadows above
Your little one clutches that worn teddy bear
While factory smoke dances through evening air
In grandma's old room, we made you a home
Far from the life that you used to know

[Chorus]
Sleep my darling, the Tyne flows steady
These brick walls will keep you ready
Though sirens echo in your dreams
You're safer here than you might believe
In this northern town, we'll see you through
Till morning light breaks clean and new

[Verse 2]
Down at the center, old Mary brings
Handknitted scarves and forgotten things
Sharing stories without words to say
While autumn leaves dance and drift away
Your eyes tell tales of what you've seen
But here's a chance to start clean

[Bridge]
Whispered lullabies in tongues unknown
Blend with songs from my childhood home
The same moon watches, silver and bright
Over Newcastle's factory nights

[Chorus]
Sleep my darling, the Tyne flows steady
These brick walls will keep you ready
Though sirens echo in your dreams
You're safer here than you might believe
In this northern town, we'll see you through
Till morning light breaks clean and new

[Outro]
And when you wake, we'll still be here
Standing strong, and standing near
Till peace finds its way back home to you
Till peace finds its way back home
