Steel Lullaby

Rock me to sleep
With your steel lullaby,
Back and forth like a pendulum swing.
I’ll drift off two the ringing of metal,
Isn’t love such a dangerous thing?

Yes, placate me with your tactics,
Fluid motions leave me entranced.
Although I know I should be petrified;
Against you, I haven’t a chance.

Simply rock me to sleep
(You didn’t wound me though you could)
With your lullaby of steel
(Maybe I knew you never would)
And I will lay down my shield
(Is this goodbye for good?)
As we turn to go, I’ll yield.
