Am Dm Am
Sleep now, little one, the hot springs rest tonight,
Dm Am E7
the volcanic peak stands quiet now, beneath the fading light.
Am Dm Am
Sleep now, little one, the palm-lined shore is near,
Dm Am E7
tomorrow’s sun will rise for you, and chase away all fear.

What “Nevis Lullaby” Means
Nevis, Saint Kitts’s sister island, is dominated by a dormant volcanic peak often wrapped in cloud, with natural hot springs where islanders have soaked for generations. This original lullaby draws on those volcanic-peak and hot-spring images of Nevis island life.
