Kashmir Lullaby Lyrics. An original lullaby inspired by Kashmir, the Himalayan valley of saffron fields, wooden houseboats, and the Kashmiri language. Come autumn, the saffron fields turn a soft violet at dawn, and on Dal Lake the houseboats glow like lanterns after sunset — the kind of quiet, golden hour this lullaby was written to hold onto. Here you will find the lyrics, meaning, and chords.
