When you're not tired But are tucked up in bed, When you want to dance But have to go to sleep instead, When you need help drifting off Please just close your eyes And I'll sing to you the sweetest Of the Liverpool Lullabies. When counting sheep stops working And they seem to fade away And weariness doesn't ward off The excitement of the day, When you're restless and the peace you crave Still you cannot find I will sing to you the sweetest Of the Liverpool Lullabies. The ship's moored on the Mersey In the cold wind rock And the sounds of men and horses Clatter on the cobbled docks And in the little house Where you and I reside I will sing to you the sweetest Of the Liverpool Lullabies. So think of all the big ships With sails that catch the wind And the free birds in the autumn Flying south and home again So think of the clearest And the starriest of skies While I sing to you the sweetest Of the Liverpool Lullabies. If you're ever lonely You fear you cannot sleep All through your troubled days You crave my company, Sing the songs that I sang softly Don't you be afraid to cry, And you'll hear me sing the sweetest Of the Liverpool Lullabies. The ship's moored on the Mersey In the cold wind rock And the sounds of men and horses Clatter on the cobbled docks And in the little house Where you and I reside I will sing to you the sweetest Of the Liverpool Lullabies.

about

"Somewhere North is a beautifully balanced 4 track EP from 2013 BBC Young Folk Musician Award nominee Rosie Hodgson. This is an intimate collection of heartfelt songs, each based around Rosie’s superb vocals with a restrained instrumental accompaniment. Also featured on the EP are backing instrumentals from Martin Ruinet on Mandolin.

Three of the songs are original compositions and these show a real songwriting talent, particularly on the poignant and reflective love song ’Need Not Declare’ which features some clever changes of vocal pace.

'Liverpool Lullaby' is another excellent, evocative and soothing piece while ’Somewhere North’ feels like a very personal piece of songwriting. Complementing the original material, the traditional ’The Snows They Melt’ is given a fresh a capella treatment. A compelling and skillfully assembled EP." – Bright Young Folk
