Notes

Couldn’t think of a better song to end this collection with than this gorgeous lullaby. It’s for my newest grandniece, Mackenzie, my future grandnieces and nephews, my nieces and my nephew; it’s for my sister, my sister-in-law and my brother and brother-in-law (even though they’re technically already covered in “Wooden Planes”); it’s for my wonderful Mom, and for Dad, and for my grandparents and all the rest of my marvelous family; it’s for you and yours, too. It’s for anyone who needs to know there’s someone right there beside them in the dark, in the cold and the snow, when the waves become angry. “You can sleep now. Go to sleep. Tomorrow comes, but it will keep. I’m standing by to sing a lullaby, another lullaby.”
