Time is Running Out Like Thread
(The Astronomer's Lullaby)

Oh my little pouty face,
won’t you come and stay up late
We will see such pretty things
Venus, Mars, and Saturn’s rings

We can stay all night I hope
look into my telescope
Someday all the stars will die
so I will sing this lullaby

Time is running out like thread
time is turning promises to lies
And spinning necklaces of tears
time will take you by surprise

Come and sit close to me
now the sun has gone behind the trees
See the town spread out below
no one down there has to know

Look into the darkness of the sky
is there something in your eye?
The milky way is burning up
won’t you come and drink a cup?
