Sei ganz leise, sei nicht ängstlich
Schau er hat dich doch so gerne
Über deinem kleinen Bettchen
Schaukeln Sonne, Mond und Sterne
Seine Hand, die große schwere
Quetscht die deine dir entzwei
Und sein Mund, der große dunkle
Summt ein schönes Lied dabei

Kindlein, lass dich küssen
Kindlein, gute Nacht
Wirst nun schlafen müssen
Hast genug gewacht
Schließ' zu die goldenen Äuglein
Schlaf ein, schlaf' ein, schlaf' ein
Du liebes Kindelein (-delein)

Schlafe ein, du kleine Tochter
Auch in dieser dunklen Nacht
Sitzt dein Vater noch am Bettchen
Und hält wacht

Ob am Abend, ob am Morgen
Sei es spät auch, sei es früh
Wird er immer wieder kommen
Seine Liebe schlummert nie (schlummert nie)

Kindlein, lass dich küssen
Kindlein, gute Nacht
Wirst nun schlafen müssen
Hast genug gewacht
Schließ' zu die goldenen Äuglein
Schlaf ein, schlaf' ein, schlaf' ein
Du liebes Kindelein (-delein)

Standing On The Edge Of Summer
Thursday
In regards to the meaning of this song: Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.” That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
