Soufriere Lullaby Lyrics. An original lullaby inspired by Soufriere, the Saint Lucian town beneath the Pitons, the island’s iconic twin volcanic peaks. The Pitons, Gros Piton and Petit Piton, were named a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2004, and just outside town lies Sulphur Springs, often nicknamed the world’s only “drive-in volcano” for how close visitors can get to its steaming, bubbling vents by car. Here you will find the lyrics, meaning, and chords.

Am Dm Am
Sleep now, little one, the twin peaks rest tonight,
Dm Am E7
the fishing boats rock gently now, beneath the fading light.
Am Dm Am
Sleep now, little one, the sulfur springs are near,
Dm Am E7
tomorrow’s sun will rise for you, and chase away all fear.
