Big Belly Man

He's here

---

Hush, hush
Ever make a fuss,
Close your eyes tight
And not make a word.
Outrush all burdens
And your daylight fun,
Shut both the eyelids
And forget the sun.
Hush, child
Only hear my hum,
Ignores these sound
Coming from the rooms.
Just close your eyes tight
And not make a word,
Mother can't be here
When that big man come.
Hush, hush
Can your hear he come?
The rumbling of the drum
And lost children's wails.
His footsteps echoing throughout the night
Make babies cries
As he come,
Big Belly Man.
Hush, child
Remember my words
Tightly close your eyes
And forget he's here.
Oh dear my sweetheart
The moon is with you
As mother go out,
And fight the big man.
Hush, hush
There isn't time left
Oh dear my sweetheart here
Close your eyes and you'll be safe.
