The Irish Rovers - Marika's Lullaby lyrics

Go to sleep now, Marika Don't lie awake like your Da' Go to sleep now, Marika You don't know how lucky you are. You never heard the radio You never read the news And you don't know what they're doing to your world And how much you stand to lose. Go to sleep now, Marika Marika, go to sleep Don't you cry, my Marika For far across the sea... Children have more to cry about Than either you or me. Yesterday on the evening late news I saw a baby cry like you. Sitting in the ruins of a home With no one left to turn to. Don't you cry now, Marika Marika, don't you cry Don't you fret now, the sound outside Is only traffic noise. And that shouting from the street below Is only noisy boys And those aeroplanes that fly high above the house Carry only people here. That rumbling going down along the road Is only the buses you hear. Don't you fret now, Marika Marika, don't you fret Don't you fret now, Marika Will you try to forget?
