Lullaby

It's a sad old world, that's a-turning

Tonight as I slide through the streams

Moonlight and memory burning

And in my hand your broken dream



My watery eyes, I sing for you this lullaby

Let the shadow fall from your window

Let the morning light fill your head

Stand up and let the wild wind blow

Right into your soul 'til the night is dead



All these useless emotions churning round

As I search these bare walls for a clue

And all the time the truth is flashing in my mind

That when a heart gets broken there ain't nothing you can do



My watery eyes, I sing for you this lullaby

Let the shadow fall from your window

Let the morning light fill your head

Stand up and let the wild wind blow

Right into your soul 'til the night is dead



And I'm packing my belongings

Hey, I'll be gone before the noon arrives

'Cause I know there's no use pretending

Hey, that soon it'll all be alright but hey



Let the shadow fall from your window

Let the morning light fill your head

Stand up and let the wild wind blow

Right into your soul til the night is dead
