about

A Goodnight Blessing‘ doesn’t come along with the typical song structure, because it has no chorus that is repeated. Instead, it’s more a kind of blessing and was originally written as a poem.
I love to write and over the last couple of months I’ve worked on book that is called ‚Water, Stone, Me‘. It’s a collection of poems, words and pictures and it will be published in December, too. Because I prefer the quieter moments in life and love to focus on the words, I decided to record ‚A Goodnight Blessing‘ just with one guitar, thinking of sitting at the bed of my daughter and singing the song for her and anyone who needs to hear it.

lyrics

Let the heart speak to you 
In the dark of the night sing you to sleep 
May the sun kiss your nose in the grace of dawn  Keeping you warm when you weep 
 
May the sun kiss your nose in the grace of dawn  Keeping you warm when you weep 
 
When the moon rises high 
Listen to the nightingales lullaby 
Make a wish under the fish 
Let the shooting star be your guide 
 
Make a wish under the fish 
Let the shooting star be your guide 
 
Trust your voice in the loud and the quiet 
In the crowd and solitude 
Be the whale in the sea and the bird in sky  And truth will unfold for you 
 
Be the whale in the sea and the bird in sky  And truth will unfold for you 
 
Greet the lilies of the valley 
On the walk to your ancestors’ cradle 
May love be your teacher and gratitude your friend  In the waves of your life’s fable 
 
May love be your teacher and gratitude your friend  In the waves of your life’s fable
