Details beneath lyrics
-------------------------------------------

Distant Lullaby
You used to come a night
Coax me soft to sleep
Somewhere warm and deep and safe

But that was long ago
A song I used to know
Distant Lullaby 
In the darkness I
Try to think of how it went

If you'd sing for me
Your sweetest melody
Distant lullaby
I will hold you tight
And I won't forget again
---------------------------------------

 I was fiddling around on the guitar when this interesting melody fell out.  The opening phrase "Distant Lullaby" was entirely spontaneous, and I immediately knew I was onto something, though not 100% sure what.

Eventually, it became clear that this character was pining for some piece from his childhood, a reminder of innocence lost.

I heard some strings in my head so, as I often do, I emailed my buddy Ron from channel RHopen asking him if he could help out.  The results are plain to see, even better than I hoped for when I first reached out to him.  Please give his channel a look, he is a remarkable songwriter who is definitely worth your time.
