My Baby Needs a Shepherd

My baby needs a shepherd, she's lost out on the hill
 Too late, I tried to call her when the night was cold and still
 And I tell myself I'll find her but I know I never will
 My baby needs a shepherd, she's lost out on the hill
 My baby needs an angel, she never learned to fly
 She'll not reach sanctuary just by looking to the sky
 I guess I could have carried her but I didn't even try
 My baby needs an angel, she never learned to fly
 Oh, I ran so far through a broken land
 I was following that drummer, beating in a different band
 Somewhere on the highway, I let go of her hand
 Now she's gone forever like her footprints in the sand
 Toora loora loora lo, first the seed and then the rose
 Toora loora loora li, my kingdom for a lullaby
 My baby needs a pilot, she has no magic wand
 To help her part the troubled waters of the Rubicon
 But in my soul, I know she'll have to go this one alone
 After all that is the only way she's ever known
 But there is no lamp in all this dark
 That could chase away her shadow from the corners of my heart
 I pray she rides a dolphin but she's swimmin' with the shark
 Out where none can save her, not even Noah and his ark
 Toora loora loora lo, to the cradle comes the crow
 Toora loora loora li, my kingdom for a lullaby
 My baby needs a mother to love her till the end
 Up every rugged mountain and down every road that bends
 Sometimes, I hear her cryin' but I guess it's just the wind
 My baby needs a mother to love her till the end
