Lullaby

Regina Spektor · Other Songs - Regina Spektor

I know that you cannot be here

I know that you are not mine now

Looking out the window

At another window

I see toenails changing colours

Like the leaves of fall

If you often smile but often don't smile

Which do you do more often

Smile or not?

I dreamt hydrant was covered in snow

White light glowing below

I know that you cannot be here

I know that you are not mine now

Looking out the window

At another window

I see toenails changing colours
