Babe in Arms S oft on wind is your name             my forever, babe in arms H ope       I placed upon my ledge             burning brightly                   into the night and wee hours of the morn                         and wish my child come home A  prayer was ever present upon my lips             I held my breath to make you breathe                   but now you’ve found your place N one may take these salty stains from my hands       as you greet the angel band on high             ~ ~ my only recompense N ow may you go with God       knowing I will meet you on His shores one day O ver mountains, through sedge and on the lea       I’ll turn face to the wind to reminisce a child N ever will you leave these hills within my mind       my Shannon             ~ ~ my babe in arms
