Autumn Lullaby Lyrics - Natalie Merchant

The sun has gone from the shining skies 

Bye, baby, bye 

The dandelions have closed their eyes 

Bye, baby, bye 

The stars are lighting their lamps to see 

The babes and squirrels and birds and bees 

Are sound asleep as they ought to be 

Bye, baby, bye. 

The squirrel keeps warm in his furs of gray 

Bye, baby, bye 

'Neath feathers, birdies are tucked away 

Bye, baby, bye 

The robin's home is a nest o'erhead 

The bees, they nest in a hive instead 

My baby's nest is her little bed 

Bye, baby, bye.
