Anyone know where I can find the lyrics to this Wendy Waldman song. I've tried the DT with no luck. Thanks for any help you can give.

This is a transcription off the sleeve notes of Judy Collins CD "Judith"…I will try and play the track later and if there is anything further I will add it...
Pirate ships
By Wendy Waldman

Far away, far away child
Turn your eyes far away child
Mama will sleep right down beside you ,tonight
Mamma will sleep tonight

Pirate ships, pirate ships ,child
Merry and bold, sparkiling and rich,, child
Come to dock, right at your pillow, tonight
Coming to dock, tonight.

In the stars, in the stars, child
See the people in the stars child
They will sail right through your window ,tonight.
into your window tonight
Na..na..na…etc (verse4)

Thanks, Micca! I remember that song being a very pretty lullaby. Will have to find "Judith".
