Lyrics
Auntie stands steady on low wood
Her voice a blanket that says we could
If your eyes feel heavy, come sit (come sit)
We got warm names ready, don’t quit (don’t quit)
Cradle meets siren—stay put (stay put)
I’ll sing you through midnight, we fit (we fit)
Hold you, hold you
Fold you, fold you
Call you, call you
We heard you, told you
If no one asked, I ask—come in, child (we hear, we here)
If words ran out, I lend—my smile (we hear, we here)
If shame got loud, I sing—stay awhile (we hear, we here)
Sugar in the kettle, we share (we share)
Cookie-tin sparkle in air (in air)
Neighbors learn lullaby care (we care)
Porches become a repair (be here)
Hold you, hold you
Fold you, fold you
Call you, call you
We heard you, told you
One—check your breath; two—check your knees; three—kick steady; we keep who we keep
My coat is a siren, warm-bright (all right)
Your name is a lantern tonight (tonight)
Hold you, hold you
Fold you, fold you
Call you, call you
We heard you, told you
Hold you, hold you
Fold you, fold you
Call you, call you
We heard you, told you
Auntie Lulla’s porch keeps watch—lullaby loud enough to lift
