Farewell Friend -Counting Sheep
Lyrics by ：Thomas Troyer
Father once miscounted his sheep
Thinking one was lost or asleep
He and his brothers went searching
He and his brothers went searching
While a hunter walked alone in the forest
He fell asleep beneath an old oak tree
He dreamed he died and his soul roamed free
He dreamed he died and his soul roamed free
As the moon caught the mist and the wind chased the stars
The brothers all wandered till morning
When my father again counted his sheep
All of those lambs had returned to the keep
All of those lambs had returned to the keep
The hunter woke up under his oak tree
He drew a cross and he leveled his aim
He called a shot but the blast never came
He called a shot but the blast never came
As the moon caught the mist and the wind chased the stars
As the moon caught the mist and the wind chased the stars
Father worked the farm until sundown
Grandpa broke the bread and they all bowed their heads
For the lamb they gave thanks as they ate
For the lamb they gave thanks as they ate
The hunter woke up under his oak tree
The farmers daughter sat there laughing at him
She'd drawn a raspberry stain on his cheek
She'd drawn a raspberry stain on his cheek
As the moon caught the mist and the wind chased the stars
As the moon caught the mist and the wind chased the stars
And the pendulum swings and the weakest all found wings
