my baby needs a shepherd she s lost out on the hill too late i tried to call her when the night was cold and still and i tell myself i ll find her but i know i never will my baby needs a shepherd she s lost out on the hill my baby needs an angel she never learned to fly she ll not reach sanctuary just by looking to the sky i guess i could have carried her but i didn t even try my baby needs an angel she never learned to fly oh i ran so far through a broken land i was following that drummer beating in a different band somewhere on the highway i let go of her hand now she s gone forever like her footprints in the sand toora loora loora lo first the seed and then the rose toora loora loora li my kingdom for a lullaby my baby needs a pilot she has no magic wand to help her part the troubled waters of the rubicon but in my soul i know she ll have to go this one alone after all that is the only way she s ever known but there is no lamp in all this dark that could chase away her shadow from the corners of my heart i pray she rides a dolphin but she s swimming with a shark out where none can save her not even noah and his ark toora loora loora lo to the cradle comes a cross toora loora loora li my kingdom for a lullaby my baby needs a mother to love her til the end up every rugged mountain and down every road that bends sometimes i hear her crying but i guess it s just the wind my baby needs a mother to love her til the end
