- Sleep my baby, at my breast,
- ’Tis a mother’s arms round you.
- Make yourself a snug, warm nest.
- Feel my love forever new.
- Harm will not meet you in sleep,
- Hurt will always pass you by.
- Child beloved, always you’ll keep,
- In sleep gentle, mother’s breast nigh.
- Sleep in peace tonight, sleep,
- O sleep gently, what a sight.
- A smile I see in slumber deep,
- What visions make your face bright?
- Are the angels above smiling,
- At you in your peaceful rest?
- Are you beaming back while in
- Peaceful slumber on mother’s breast?
- Do not fear the sound, it’s a breeze
- Brushing leaves against the door.
- Do not dread the murmuring seas,
- Lonely waves washing the shore.
- Sleep child mine, there’s nothing here,
- While in slumber at my breast,
- Angels smiling, have no fear,
- Holy angels guard your rest.
- Suo Gan, a Welsh lullaby

These mist covered mountains
Are a home now for me
But my home is the lowlands
And always will be
Some day you'll return to
Your valleys and your farms
And you'll no longer burn
To be brothers in arms
Through these fields of destruction
Baptisms of fire
I've witnessed your suffering
As the battles raged higher
And though we were hurt so bad
In the fear and alarm
You did not desert me
My brothers in arms
There's so many different worlds
So many different suns
And we have just one world
But we live in different ones
Now the sun's gone to hell
And the moon's riding high
Let me bid you farewell
Every man has to die
But it's written in the starlight
And every line on your palm
We're fools to make war
On our brothers in arms
Brothers In Arms lyrics
Songwriters: Knopfler, Mark;
