Chorus:
EmDG
Sleep well sweet child
EmDC
I am here to watch your dreams
EmDG
Don’t be afraid
EmDC
The moon above just gleams for you
EmDCGD
Don’t mind the wolf, he is not near
EmCGD
He’s a friend of the night, my dear
EmDCGD
Hush don’t you cry, he is not near
EmCGD
We are friends of the night, my dear
Verse:
Em
And I run and I hide in the dark
EmD
Threatened by each distant bark
EmDEm
Sleep little love, for heaven’s sake
AmEmDC
It’s not your fault; it’s your cruel, ruthless fate
AmEmDC
It’s not your fault; it’s your cruel, ruthless fate
Bridge:
EmD
Prophecy of the old age
AAmEmD
Still sounding out my son’s decline
EmD
He is the one to free us from the tyrant
AAmEmD
So I flee from bloodhounds eager to kill
Chorus:
EmDG
And I sing sleep well sweet child
EmDC
I am here to watch your dreams
EmDG
Don’t be afraid
EmDC
The moon above just gleams for you
EmDCGD
Don’t mind the wolf, he is not near
EmCGD
He’s a friend of the night, my dear
EmDCGD
Hush don’t you cry, he is not near
EmCGD
We are friends of the night, my dear
Verse:
Em
They shall not get my loving child
EmD
As long as Iʼm by his side

I am the shadow runner in time
AmEmDC
Here and there, never to find
AmEmDC
Here and there, never to find
Em
And I run and I hide in the dark
EmD
Threatened by each distant bark
EmDEm
Sleep little love, for heaven’s sake

Sleep for Iʼm here to fulfil your fate
AmEmDEm
Sleep for Iʼm here to fulfil your fate
