Hush Now by Ellen Miles Lyrics

At the mercy of a dice
Some roll death and some roll life
And a father holds his daughter close as she cries
Why did mother have to die?

At the mercy of the waves
He clings on to his one hope
That somewhere there's a place where children are safe
And in that boat he sings to her

Hush now darling, don’t you cry
Daddy loves you, it's alright
We will make it through the night
Soon it'll be over

At the mercy of neighbours
They are taken to a place
Where the hope is slowly dying for everyone inside
And in that camp he sings to her

Hush now darling, don’t you cry
Daddy loves you, it's alright
We will make it through the night
Soon it'll be over
At the mercy of my own
They are rescued out of hell
But they've not come to heaven, cause we're no angels here
And at our gates he sings to her

Hush now darling, don't you cry
Daddy loves you, it's alright
We will make it through the night
Soon it must be over

Hush now darling, don't you cry
Daddy loves you, it’s alright
We will make it through the night
Soon it’ll be over
