Three in the morning, you and me awake
Tiny fist around my finger, holding like a promise kept
Your mama's finally sleeping, so it's my turn to sway
Rocking by the window till the streetlights fade away
Little bird, hush now
Papa's got you, papa's here
Little bird, hush now
Ain't no storm gonna reach you, dear
I never had a daddy who would sing me through the night
So I'm learning every lullaby from records worn and white
These rough old hands were made for hauling, never this soft
But I'd carry you to heaven if the angels came to call
Little bird, hush now
Papa's got you, papa's here
Little bird, hush now
Ain't no storm gonna reach you, dear
