I give you stars and sunshine
A rainbow at your feet each time you rise
So dry your eyes
The house of yesterday is crumblin' at my feet
But I don't mind, I had my time
I am but yesterday
And you my child, tomorrow
There's nothing I can give you
For you have more than me
You are the truth within your youth
I watch you dance and playing
The little prince of all that you survey
Each night, each day
I am the good old days,
And you my child, tomorrow
If I have any future
It is within your eyes
Each time you smile
My child, my child
The hand of life will rock you
I brought you forth
And then my task was through
I give to you
This wondrous view
I am but yesterday
And you my child, tomorrow
And you my child, tomorrow
And you my child, tomorrow
Sun is red; moon is cracked
Daddy's never coming back
Nothing's ever yours to keep
Close your eyes, go to sleep
If I die before you wake
Don't you cry, don't you weep
Nothing's ever as it seems
Climb the ladder to you dreams
If I die before you wake
Don't you cry, don't you weep
Nothing's ever yours to keep
Close your eyes; go to sleep
I was the boy who said all of my prayers
Laid my clean face on the pillow
Tucked in real tight, so safe and secure
Through the night
I heard a noise, it was probably nothing
It pulled me right out of a dream
If I knew it was you
I'd have jumped out of bed with a scream
I am the one who growls in your closet
I am the one who lives under your bed
Get down - back where you started
Get down - back into hell
Your black soul, you know you're black hearted
I smell your sulfurous smell
All of my things that I play with in daylight
You turn into monsters at night
My toys were my friends
Until you taught them all how to bite
You showed me things little boys shouldn't see
You scared me with visions of fire
You danced on my bed
With the flames on your head dancing higher
I am the one who growls in your closet
I am the one who lives under your bed
Get down - back where you started
Get down - back into hell
Your black soul, you know you're black hearted
I smell your sulfurous smell
I tell you right now
I don't want your reptile embrace
I don't want to follow you down to your place
I don't want to be a child of disgrace
You can take your whiskey soaked, foaming
at the mouth, toilet talking, pea soup
Spewing, sweating blood demon breath out of my face
Get down - back where you started
Get down - back into hell
Your black soul, you know you're black hearted
I smell your sulfurous smell
I was the boy who said all of my prayers
Laid my clean face on the pillow
Tucked in real tight, so safe and secure
Should just hug you goodbye
But I just can't walk away from paradise
So I guess I'll sing you that sweet lullaby
And we can revisit us one more time
Yes, I'll come home with you tonight
Hey boy, what's going on
Thanks, I'm doing okay
Don't believe rumours- hey
How's your family
Please say hello for me
Guess we've both grown up a bit
But I have to admit
It really still feels good
Here by your side
Sitting right next to you
Just like I used to do
You know we can't deny
No one else in our lives
Holds a candle to you and I
Should just hug you goodbye
But I just can't walk away from paradise
So I guess I'll sing you that sweet lullaby
And we can revisit us one more time
Yes, I'll come home with you tonight
I should just hug you goodbye
But I just can't walk away from paradise
So I guess I'll sing you that sweet lullaby
And we can revisit us one more time
Yes, I'll come home with you tonight
So here we are again
All by ourselves
So familiar you know
That it actually almost feels like deja vu
Of that night on the roof
We kissed under the sky amid city lights
A sudden flashback to so long ago
In the dark all alone
With our bodies this close
Guess some things never change
'Cause I still melt away
When you touch me
And say my name
Should just hug you goodbye (baby)
But I just can't walk away from paradise (so I guess)
So I guess I'll sing you that sweet lullaby
(I'll come and love you to sleep)
And we can revisit us one more time
(revisit paradise for a while)
Yes, I'll come home with you tonight (by your side)
(lullaby)
I should just hug you goodbye (see I know I should but boy)
But I just can't walk away from paradise
(you just look so good)
So I guess I'll sing you that sweet lullaby
(so I'll sing that song)
And we can revisit us one more time
(you like to hear me sing as we revisit us)
Yes, I'll come home with you tonight
(It feels, feels good)
I should just hug you goodbye
(I can't walk away
But I just can't walk away from paradise
From paradise so I'll take you home and sing to you baby)
So I guess I'll sing you that sweet lullaby
And we can revisit us one more time
Yes, I'll come home with you tonight
(though I know that I should just)
I should just hug you goodbye
(oh I can't, ...cause you)
But I just can't walk away from paradise
So I guess I'll sing you that sweet lullaby
(you and I both know)
And we can revisit us one more time
(nobody else in our lives holds a candle to you and I)
Yes, I'll come home with you tonight
I should just hug you goodbye shhh!
(so hush pretty baby)
But I just can't walk away from paradise
(mmm,it's just me and you yeah, as we relive the splendor of you and I)
So I guess I'll sing you that sweet lullaby
And we can revisit us one more time
Yes, I'll come home with you tonight
fourteenth street and the garbage swirls like a cyclone
three o'clock in the afternoon and I am going home
F train is full of high school students
so much shouting
so much laughter
last night's underwear in my back pocket
sure sign of the morning after
take me home
take me home and leave me there
think I'm going to cry, I don't know why
think I'm going to sing myself a lullaby
feel free to listen
feel free to stare
I live in New York New York the city that never shuts
in the daylight everything is so gory
you can hear snatches of stranger's sorry stories
and I moved there from buffalo but that's nothing
the TRICO plant moved to mexico
left my uncle standing out in the cold
said there's your last paycheck have fun growing old
take me home
take me home and leave me there
think I'm going to cry, I don't know why
think I'm going to sing myself a lullaby
feel free to listen
feel free to stare
rockabye baby
in the treetop
when the wind blows
cradle will rock
when the bough breaks
the cradle will fall
down will come baby
cradle and all
youth is beauty
money is beauty
hell, beauty is beauty sometimes
it's the luck of the draw
it's the natural law
it's a joke
it's a crime
I was bored
you were bored
it was a meeting of the minds
now it's three in the afternoon and I can't leave too
soon
saying thank you, I had a nice time
take me home
take me home and leave me there
think I'm going to cry, I don't know why
think I'm going to sing myself a lullaby
feel free to listen
feel free to stare
maybe I'll live my whole life
just getting by
maybe I'll be discovered
maybe I'll be colonized
you could try to train me like a pet
you could try to teach me to behave
But I'll tell you, if I haven't learned it yet
you know,
I ain't gonna sit, I ain't gonna stay
take me home
take me home and leave me there
think I'm going to cry, I don't know why
think I'm going to sing myself a lullaby
feel free to listen
On candystripe legs the spiderman comes
Softly through the shadow of the evening sun
Stealing past the windows of the blissfully dead
Looking for the victim shivering in bed
Searching out fear in the gathering gloom and
Suddenly!
A movement in the corner of the room!
And there is nothing I can do
When I realise with fright
That the spiderman is having me for dinner tonight!
Quietly he laughs and shaking his head
Creeps closer now
Closer to the foot of the bed
And softer than shadow and quicker than flies
His arms are all around me and his tongue in my eyes
'Be still be calm be quiet now my precious boy
Don't struggle like that or I will only love you more
For it's much too late to get away or turn on the light
The spiderman is having you for dinner tonight'
And I feel like I'm being eaten
By a thousand million shivering furry holes
And I know that in the morning I will wake up
In the shivering cold
And the spiderman is always hungry..
Get up and leave the baby
your going to drive him crazy
and theres a bed just in the other room
he has a casket for him
and for this he means snorin'
shoots all into for ages at a time
its not that he dont love you
you his mommy dearest
but in the night time he only needs himself
go entertain the neighbors
leave him to gajatate
and in the morning you leave a glass of milk
ahhhhh ahhhh ahhhh ahhhh
ahhhh ahhh ahh ahhhhhhhhh ohhhhh
its not that he dont love you
you are his mommy dearest
but in the night time he only needs himeslef
go entertain the neighbors
leave him to gajatate
and in the morning you leave a galss of milk
ahhh ahhhh ahhhhhhhh ahhhh
ahhhh ahhhhh ahhhhhhhh ahhhhhhoh oh
its not that he dont love you
you are his mommy dearest
but in the night time he only needs himeslef
he only needs himself
he only needs himself
ah ah ahhhhh
ah ah ahhhhh
ah ah ahhhhh
ah ah ahhhhh
Hush now little one,
The day has lost its glow
The night falls softly round
The sandman's sleepy saws.
Sleep.
The stars will shine tonight
High up in the sky.
The breeze will sing a song
As he goes hurrying by.
Sleep.
For you the sun will rise,
For you the dawn will break.
Hush now, all is still,
Hush now till you wake.
Sleep.
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh,
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh.
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh,
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh.
Sleep.
So sleep.
creed- lullaby
Hush my love now dont you cry, everything will be alright
close your eyes and drift in dream
rest in peaceful sleep.
If theres one thing I hoped I showed you,
if theres one thing I hope i showed u
hope I showed you,
just give love to all. (x3)
oh my love in my arms tight
everyday you give me life
as I drift off to your world
rest in peaceful sleep. (x3)
CHORUS
Lets give love to all...
Let's go
And I ain't gotta tell y'all who I be
Because these 100 dollar bills are like baller ID
And I get under nigga's skin, they should call me IV
But if you try me nigger I will be your caller ID
And that means I got your number
Please don't make me dial it
That could land your fly ass on the ground just like a pilot
So just do me a solid
Y'all stay in pocket like wallets
'Cause you can't see me, close eyelids
Huh, nitey nite , I'm with a model chick
Tyrah thick, Heidi's height, body suits, body tight
Yeah, I clean up nice, catch me on a tidy night
Might be Gucci down to the tidy whites
Okay, it's Loso, everybody knows so
My son is the heir to the thrown, Prince Joso
So daddy need money, mummy need new true-ies
Baby needs new shoes, preferably the new Lueys
The swaggers in his jeans, he was born fly
Them Phily bitches say the ball keep his jaunt fly
That Reggie Kush outta Southern California
Sing them a lullaby
Sing them a lullaby
Sing them a lullaby
Sing them a lullaby
Rock-a-bye, baby
Rock-a-bye, baby
Rock-a-bye, baby
Rock-a-bye, baby
Hush little lame niggas, don't say a word
Y'all don't know the half, not even a third
Put a dick in your ear and fuck what you heard
She tried to pull my fly south, I ain't want the bird
'Cause I been killin' these hoes, these niggas just drop dead
In the drop head, all we do is bop heads
To the side like Busta in the Pepsi ad
With my Columbiana mamma, yep she bad
She in the latest shoe that Giuseppe had
Blow game like the late Dizzy Gillespie had
That's some good jaw, pop quiz, good score
She call her pussy Mediene, that good raw
For you little cheap fucks, hood whores
You niggas soft in the middle, call them hood smalls
Everybody on the block going cuckoo
Phantom doors open like the clock that goes cuckoo
Birds poppin' out, sittin' on the hood
Check my bird droppings out, I'm shittin' on the hood
Sleepin' time, niggas
The hand that rocks the cradle for you nursery rhyme, niggas
It's bed time, nice
Sing them a lullaby
Sing them a lullaby
Sing them a lullaby
Sing them a lullaby
Sing them a lullaby
Rock-a-bye, baby
Rock-a-bye, baby
Even when the jokes were bad
think of all the fun we had
I just got back from church
yee I really like that place
love to see the children run and play
watch the ladies gather round in circles
domestic life
love to see the children run and play
There was a storm outside as we drove home
the night sky was pure blue
I thought about all the different things
that happened to all the different people I knew
Even when the jokes were bad
think of all the fun we had
I worked in an oil refinery
I didn't really like it
there was this girl there
who acted like she hated me
but only because she loved me
even though that wasn't healthy
it was kinda nice
Even when the jokes were bad
think of all the fun we had
She said I was a real looser
but at least I'm real
and being real
sometimes is a loosing game
Even when the jokes were bad
think of all the fun we had
floating like a ghost man
floating like a baby
swaying in a mother's arm
sleeping like a baby
fans stay all in light,
and friends day all in hide
for they talk him up, together
together there's life flowing
Sending for the season
flowers for the rapture
shield her from the fire
flowers for the sleeping
fans stay all in light
and friends stay all in hide
for they don't get up, together
together, there's life flowing
soldier, child of honor
sleeping like a baby
swaying in his mother's arm
floating like a ghost man
fans stay all in light
and friends stay all in hide
fallen talk it out, together
Shall I stay or go through the door
Will the pen [unverified]
Watch the stars
Sleep's a chore
The moon is growing cold
It hangs like a sliver of tin
How do our dreams unfold
And why are my bones feeling thin?
I watch my pen as though
My fingers could shatter like icicles
And before my eyes
We come to pay homage to the golden one
We share and bear the message of your newborn son
We follow paths of falling stars
In and out of mangers, other bars
Opportunity knocked you up I guess
Gave you your little baby's success
You've got potential, you have the gift
You have the chance to heal a million rifts
We've been sent to sing a lullaby for you
We've been sent to sing a lullabyWe've brought oils, gold and wine and bread
A dreaming pillow for his divine head
Asttrologers all we plot the charts
And wise men we can look into people's hearts
A doom is on the child that I can see
He don't belong in this time with you and me
His life will not be very long
Before you know it he will be gone
We've been sent to sing a lullaby for you
Sleep, baby, sleep
The day's on the run
The wind in the trees
Is talking in tongues
If you're heart is torn
I don't wonder why
If the night is long
Here's my lullaby
Here's my lullaby
Well, the mouse ate the crumb
Then the cat ate the crust
Now they've fallen in love
And they're talking in tongues
If your heart is torn
I don't wonder why
If the night is long
Here's my lullaby
Here's my lullaby
Sleep, baby, sleep
There's a morning to come
The wind and the trees
They're talking in tongues
If your heart is torn
I don't wonder why
If the night is long
Here's my lullaby
Good night close your eyes
Sleep tight grow up wise
Dream of all the fun we had.
Don't cry dry your eyes
Mummy wouldn't like it
If she knew that you were sad.
An' I'll take you out tomorrow
'N' buy you something new
And the sun will shine tomorrow
If you ask it to.
Good night close your eyes
Sleep tight grow up wise
Leave the worryin' to me.
INSTRUMENTAL
An' I'll take you out tomorrow
'N' buy you something new
And the sun will shine tomorrow
If you ask it to.
Good night close your eyes
Sleep tight grow up wise
Dream of all the fun we had.
Don't cry dry your eyes
Mummy wouldn't like it
=======
Let the bells ring out
Let the bells ring out
The hero is dead and the children are in bed
Let the bells ring out
All around, people in the town, they be dancing in the streets
Young and old, the lame and the whole, they be dancing in the streets
Everybody be moving, everybody get high
Instrumental
Since your mother cast her spell
Every kiss has left a bruise
You've been raiding too much meaning from existence
Now your head is used and sore
And the forecast is for more
Memories falling, like falling rain
Falling rain
Every view they hold on you's
A piano, out of tune
You're an angel
You're a demon
You're just human
Now your world has turned to trash
Broken windows on the past
Take that child and teach him senseless
Damage the dream, damage the dream
I feel nothing, I feel nothing at all
I feel nothing at all
In this gloomy, haunted place
All the feelings are of shame
All the windows have been broken by the children
So the wind screams up the stairs
Slams the doors and rattles chairs
I wish we weren't conceived in violence
Damage the dream, damage the dream
The magic is broken
The house is in ruins
Your memory's one-sided
The side that you're choosing feels nothing
Feels nothing at all
We feel nothing at all
The end of the world is a windy place
Where the eagle builds her nest of lace
I rock you asleep in the cradle of end
Listen, baby, to the wind
The end of the world is a broken glass
Where the goldfish swim in the rosy grass
I rock you asleep in the cradle of slow
Listen, baby, to the snow
The end of the world is the shadowed cowl
of one whose eyes are like the owl's
I rock you asleep in the cradle of flight
Listen, baby, to the night
Waging war on the arms race of sound
Turn it down
Pull the plug
Imminent surrender
Ringing in the new Dark Age
Shut down the noise-aholics
Put down the quiet-ophobics
In a daydream of peace
In a calmness too brief
My lullaby is killing
My lullaby be stilling
It could be such sweet silence
From static from violence from...
Volume is the modern currency
Everyone competing for air space
Everybody's dumb
Shouting muddled words as though they're deaf
Big brother isn't watching anymore
He knows we are distracted and absorbed
Broadcasting our grief
Our imagination's atrophied
We can't think
If I could sing them all to sleep
If I could sing myself deaf
Wouldn't it be lovely?
Doesn't it sound perfect?
Every generation hates the next
I will save the millions from a slow insufferable death
I'll put them to sleep
Save them from progressive misery
I'm counting
If I could sing myself to sleep
If I could sing myself deaf
Wouldn't it be lovely?
Doesn't it sound perfect?
My lullaby is killing
My lullaby be stilling
Memorized.
Involuntary
When you're so lonely lying in bed
Night's closed it's eyes but you can't rest your head
Everyone's sleeping all through the house
You wish you could dream but forgot to somehow
Sing this lullaby to yourself
Sing this lullaby to yourself
And if you are waiting, waiting for me
Know I'll be home soon darling I guarantee
I'll be home Sunday just in one week
Dry up your tears if you start to weep
And sing this lullaby to yourself
Sing this lullaby to yourself
Lullaby, I'm not nearby
Sing this lullaby to yourself
Don't you cry, no don't you cry
Sing this lullaby to yourself
Cause when I arrive dear it won't be that long
No it won't seem like anytime that I've been gone
It ain't the first time it won't be the last
Won't you remember these words to help the time pass?
So when you're so lonely lying in bed
Night's closed it's eyes but you can't rest your head
Everyone's sleeping all through the house
You wish you could dream but forgot to somehow
Sing this lullaby to yourself
Sing this lullaby to yourself
Sing this lullaby, sing this lullaby
The lunacy will leave the day
Luminous in flight
As the moon spits out
In jagged beams another night
Wrap around this brilliant veil
Tranquil and unbroken
As you spiral down
A world of clay and taut convulsion
The dream swan spins
And cartwheel turns
Down deep within your violet side
The sun begins to rise
Skaing down its morining swords to thaw your frozen eyes
The dream swan spins
And so conceal the heart that aches and yearns
Hush awhile
Sleepless child
I'll be watching over you
We come to pay homage to the Golden one
We share and bear the message of your newborn son
We follow paths, falling stars
In and out of mangers other barns
Opportunity knocked you up I guess
Gave you your little baby success
You've got potential, you have the gift
You have the chance to heal a million rifts
We've been sent to sing a lullaby for you
We've been sent to sing a lullaby
We've brought oils, gold and wine and bread
Dreaming pillows for his divine head
Astrologers all, we plot the charts
And wise men, we can look into people's hearts
A doom is on this child, that I can see
He don't belong in this time of you and me
His life will not be very long
Before you know it, he will be gone
We've been sent to sing a lullaby for you
You don't look so good
You don't look so fine
Do you think that you've
Gone too far this time
O' I'll sing you a lullaby
Is your head aching
Is your body weak
Is the floor moving
Can't you speak
How do you feel
How do you know
Do you wish you were at home
But it's a long way to go
Find a corner
Go right down
Go to sleep
Goodnight my angel, time to close your eyes
and save these questions for another day.
I think I know what you've been asking me
I think you know what I've been tryin' to say.
I promised I would never leave you,
and you should always know,
wherever you may go, no matter where you are,
I never will be far away.
Goodnight my angel, now it's time to sleep,
and still so many things I want to say.
Remember all the songs you sang for me,
when we went sailing on an emerald bay.
And like a boat out on the ocean,
I'm rocking you to sleep,
the water's dark and deep,
inside this ancient heart,
you'll always be a part of me.
Goodnight my angel, now it's time to dream,
and dream how wonderful your life will be,
some day your child may cry, and if you sing this lullaby,
then in your heart there will always be a part of me.
Some day we'll all be gone, but lullabies go on and on,
they never die, that's how you and I will be.
Cross over and turn
Feel the spot don't let it burn
We all want we all yearn
Be soft don't be stern
Lullaby
Was not supposed to make you cry
I sang the words I meant
I sang
Now you'll lay me down to sleep
Pray the Lord your soul to keep
That your heart if safe with me
If I die before I wake
I'm sorry darlin' for every mistake I've ever made
I could sing you the most beautiful song you've ever heard
You could sing alone my hummingbird
But you don't need to sing
I don't need to play it'll be alright
I just want you to fall asleep tonight
This is a lullaby... lullaby, lullaby, lullaby
It's just the way I say goodnight
It'll be ok, it'll be alright
This is your lullaby
[KIZ]
This is your lullaby, yeah
Lullaby, lullaby this is my hopes and dreams combined
Spoken to you hoping you sleep well tonight
So rest your precious head on your pillow
And let your thoughts run free
Now close your tired eyes and just dream
You couldn't imagine all of life's beautiful things
As your vision slowly fades and your thoughts kick in
So just imagine, imagine floating to a place that's far away
And we could catch up another day, ay
I could sing you the most beautiful song you've ever heard
You could sing alone my hummingbird
But you don't need to sing
I don't need to play it'll be alright
I just want you to fall asleep tonight
This is a lullaby... lullaby, lullaby, lullaby
It's just the way I say goodnight
It'll be ok, it'll be alright
This is your lullaby
[KIZ]
Yeah, yeah
And when you told me you were scared
I was well aware that your heart was unprepared
So I said that I'd be there if I said maybe you'll sleep
And you'll lust in all your dreams
And never have to worry cause your heart is safe with me
I could sing you the most beautiful song you've ever heard
You could sing alone my hummingbird
But you don't need to sing
I don't need to play it'll be alright
I just want you to fall
I just want you to fall
I just want you to fall asleep tonight
It'll be ok, it'll be alright
All I want is a lullaby.
Oh Baby bring it to me now.
All I want is a lullaby.Oh Baby.
Oh Baby. Close the door behind you.
Come right in. Come closer. Closer
Can you feel the passion inside.
Dim the lights. And take another step to me
City lights are movin' lights.
All I want is a lullaby.
City lights are movin' lights
All I wanna be is by your side.
city lights are movin' lights. All I want is alullaby
City lights.
I can feel your passion inside.
I wanna take a step to you
And give you all the love you need.
When the nights get longer.
I wanna get with you
Adn only you.
You oughtta know by now.
What you do to me.
I'm touchin' you so sweet
Really puts me in the mood.
when the door's behind ou.
Take me in. Come closer
I need you closer.
Then you'll feel my hearbeat inside.
You just need to give me all
So where do we begin? It must be thirty-five years . . .
You've the breath of my mother, the life of a stranger;
and there's so much to tell - so much I need to know.
All of the stories, and reasons
But your face I remember and your breath I remember
Take me in your arms, take me in your arms
So go out tonight and look up at the stars,
the light that you see is as old as I am.
And that's what I see, when I gaze in your eyes
Loving a ghost lost in confusion of time - but our love remains
through these brightest hours.
And my secret world
And your face I remember - and your breath I remember
Take me in your arms, take me in your arms
Hush now, baby, don't you cry
Rest your wings, my butterfly
Peace will come to you in time
And I will sing this lullaby
No, though I must leave, my child
But I would stay here by your side
And if you wake before I'm gone
Remember this sweet lullaby
And all love through darkness
Don't you ever stop me believing
With love forlorn
With love you'll find your way, my love
The world has turned the day to dark
I leave this night with heavy heart
When I return to dry your eyes
I will sing this lullaby
Its a sad old world
That's turning tonight
As I slide through the streets
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 till 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's 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 till the night is dead
And I'm packing my belongings
Hey I'll be gone before the noon arrives
Cos I know there's no use pretending
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 till the night is dead
See the dawn break gold
When the night is dead
Shut up and go to bed
Put the pillow under your head
I'm sick and tired of all your worries
Shut up and say goodnight
Say your prayers and turn off the light
I'm sick and tired of all your sob-stories
Shut up and shut your eyes
No more histrionics no more college tries
Stop pushing stop shoving stop straining
Shut your mouth and button your lip
You're a late night faucet that's got a drip
All you're doing is merely complaining
The excuse that you're crazy is useless
You're not biting you're barking you're toothless
But you're ruthless (you're Rufus)
Shut up and count some sheep
And do me a favour don't bitch in your sleep
No more agony please no more sorrow
Shut up and catch some Z's
Ice cream with a cherry plus big pretty please
Well I know the feeling
Of finding yourself stuck out on the ledge
And there ain't no healing
From cutting yourself with the jagged edge
I'm telling you that
Its never that bad
Take it from someone whose been where you're at
Laid out on the floor
And your not sure
You can take this anymore
So just give it one more try
To a lullaby
And turn this up on the radio
If you can hear me now
I'm reaching out
To let you know that you're not alone
And you can't tell
I'm scared as hell
Cause I can't get you on the telephone
So just close your eyes
Well honey here comes a lullaby
Your very own lullaby
Please let me take you
Out of the darkness and into the light
Cause I have faith in you
That you're gonna make it through another night
Stop thinking about
The easy way out
There's no need to go and blow the candle out
Because you're not done
You're far too young
And the best is yet to come
So just give it one more try
To a lullaby
And turn this up on the radio
If you can hear me now
I'm reaching out
To let you know that you're not alone
And you can't tell
I'm scared as hell
Cause I can't get you on the telephone
So just close your eyes
Well honey here comes a lullaby
Your very own lullaby
Well everybody's hit the bottom
And everybody's been forgotten
When everybody's tired of being alone
Yeah everybody's been abandoned
And left a little empty handed
So if you're out there barely hanging on
Just give it one more try
To a lullaby
And turn this up on the radio
If you can hear me now
I'm reaching out
To let you know that you're not alone
And you can't tell
I'm scared as hell
Cause I can't get you on the telephone
So just close your eyes
Well honey here comes a lullaby
Your very own lullaby
Well honey here comes a lullaby
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
The lunacy will leave the day
Luminous in flight
As the moon spits out in jagged
Beams another night
Wrap around this brilliant veil
Tranquil and unbroken
As you spiral down, a world of clay
And taut convulsion
The dream swan spins
And cartwheel turns
Down deep within your violet side
The sun begins to rise
Shaking down its morning swords
To thaw your frozen eyes
The dream swan spins
And so conceal the heart
That aches and yearns
Oh, hush awhile, sleepless child
I'll be watching over you
I'll be watching over you
I'll be watching over you
What are we all living for?
If nothing's worth dying for tonight
Your dreams are not enough
What I need is love
That's worth laying down my life
Sing along,
Just like they taught us
It's soothing your mind this lullaby
No heaven above us
Just mile after mile of empty sky
No right or wrong
Can you imagine?
A world where there's no more need to cry
But no joy or passion
Its seems that the price is much to high
But I am holding out for something real
And though you offered peace
What I really need comes to so much more
Your dreams are not enough
What I need is love that's worth dying for
You say that you're a dreamer
Well I'm a dreamer too
But I wont sing your lullaby
However well intentioned
Its neither good nor true
The pallid dream is just a lie
But I am holding out for something real
And though you offered peace
What I really need comes to so much more
Your dreams are not enough
What I need is love that's worth dying for
What are we all living for
They didn't have you where I come from
Never knew the best was yet to come
Life began when I saw your face
And I hear your laugh like a serenade
How long do you want to be loved
Is forever enough, is forever enough
How long do you want to be loved
Is forever enough
Cause I'm never, never giving you up
I slip in bed when you're asleep
To hold you close and feel your breath on me
Tomorrow there'll be so much to do
So tonight I'll drift in a dream with you
How long do you want to be loved
Is forever enough, is forever enough
How long do you want to be loved
Is forever enough
Cause I'm never, never giving you up
As you wander through this troubled world
In search of all things beautiful
You can close your eyes when you're miles away
And hear my voice like a serenade
How long do you want to be loved
Is forever enough, is forever enough
How long do you want to be loved
Is forever enough
Cause I'm never, never giving you up
How long do you want to be loved
Is forever enough, is forever enough
How long do you want to be loved
Is forever enough
Cause I'm never, never giving you up
Is forever enough
May you find solace in the gentle arms of sleep
Despite the wolves outside your door
In time you will see them all as harmless
And their idle threats easy to ignore
And if ever fate should choose to smite you
Stand your ground, never walk away
Please don't ever let the world defeat you
Don't get buried in its decay
As you drift into the gauzy realm of dreams
May you take comfort in the thought that you are safe
For it only takes a fraction of a second
For all of this to change
Return to me
When slumber's fog has lifted
Return to me
Stronger than before
As you sink beneath the soothing streams of time
May you be thankful that you had another day
For there comes a time when each of us will enter
A sleep from which we will never wake
And if ever fate should choose to smite you
Stand your ground, never walk away
Please don't ever let the world defeat you
Don't get buried in its decay
Close your eyes now, if only for a moment
For it's time you get some rest
The wolves are gone and nothing here can harm you
Let go of your fragile consciousness
You are the sun to the earth
You are the light of this world
Won't you see
Why won't you see.
You are the hand I can't reach
You are the words I can't speak
Won't you sing
Why won't you sing.
I will walk till I've no shadow.
I will walk till I've no shadow.
You twist the light in your hands
It moves and sparks
It's all the love you can give.
Reasons fall from every storm that you lift.
We move through the dark
Helpless
You are the quiet in my soul
You are the pieces of gold
Won't you shine
Why won't you shine.
I will walk till I've no shadow.
I will walk till I've no shadow.
You've Been looking for god
You've been down on your knees
Will the Angels believe you now?
Wanting more than the bliss of a buetiful kiss
from the lips of the one who fell

it relieves and believes the painthat you fought in vain

There's a light in the evening
By the house with a window
As she sleeps I hear the
ticking of the clock
When the cool of the morning
Brings a hush to the shadow
In the hall
There's a skylight to the dark
Hush
Baby don't you cry
And I will sing a lullaby
And I can see
I've been away too long
Dusting out the closet by the stairs
When the door swinging open
Bring her smile to the window
In the sky
I see a hundred angels there
Hush
I watch as you asleep, far away in your wonderland
I pray for the world to be good to your little hint
And I will care for you, always be fair for you
Always remember you fill my heart
This I swear
Lullaby
So what do you dream, do you know you're all that I am
If I'm cool to be kind, sometimes hope you'll understand
And I will dance with you, hold up my hands to you
When you feel empty, I'll fill your heart
This I swear
Lullaby
Lullaby
Lullaby
You're my beautiful, my little miracle
Call and I'll answer, take all that I have
This I swear
I will care for you, always be fair for you
Always remember you fill my heart
This I swear
Lullaby
Lullaby
you've been looking for god
you've been down on your knees
will the angels believe you now?
wanting more than the bliss of a beautiful kiss
from the lips of the one who fell
well it's hard to tell?br>
it's like an opium dream
through your psyche it streams
it relieves and believes the pain
that you fought in vain
oh no... please don't
wave goodbye wave goodbye
because you're sleeping tonight
sleeping tonight
safe in the arms of morpheus
you've escaped through these means
these delirious dreams
helped to shelter and soothe your soul
the regrettable roles

satisfied your desire to burn and now you've learned?
oh no... please don't
wave goodbye wave goodbye
because you're sleeping tonight
sleeping tonight
safe in the arms of morpheus
and we're waving goodbye
you're sleeping tonight
safe in the arms of morpheus
She grew up with the children of the stars
In the Hollywood hills, in the Boulevard
Her parents threw big parties, everyone was there
They hung out with folks like Dennis Hopper
And Bog Seager, and Sunny and Cher
She feels safe now in this bar in Farfax
And from the stage I can tell that
She can't let go and she can't relax
And just before she hangs her head to cry
I sing to her a lullabye
I say, everything's gonna be alright
Rockabye, rockabye
Everything's gonna be alright
Rockabye, rockabye, rockabye
She still lives with her mom outside the city
Down that street about a half a mile
And all her friends tell her she's so pretty
But she'd be whole lot prettier if she smiled once in a while
'Cause even her smile looks like a frown
She's seen her share of devils in this angel town
I say, everything's gonna be alright
Rockabye, rockabye
Everything's gonna be alright
Rockabye, rockabye, rockabye
I told her, "I ain't so sure about this place
It's hard to play a gig in this town and keep a straight face
It seems like everybody with a plan
It's kinda like Nashville, with a tan"
I say, everything's gonna be alright
Rockabye, rockabye
Everything's gonna be alright
Rockabye, rockabye, rockabye
I say, everything's gonna be alright
Rockabye, rockabye
Everything's gonna be alright
Rockabye, rockabye, rockabye
Bye, bye
Girl I feel like making something
To make your mind and your body relax
That can make you feel good, real good, yea
And make you wanna keep callin' back cuz
Love, the way I feel about you right now
Makes me wanna take you up to cloud 9 cuz
With all this love I gotta give let me show you how
I can fill you with this love inside cuz
All I wanna do is spend the night with you
Put your mind at ease
Just like a lullaby, just like a lullaby
And baby if you just give me your trust
I'll shower you with love
Til' you fall fast asleep
Just like a lullaby, just like a lullaby
I can make your body (twinkle, twinkle)
And make your eyes glisten like (little stars)
Just looking at you baby (oh how I wish)
I can make you see how (beautiful you are)
Cuz love, ain't nothin' more precious than when (no, no)
A woman and man come together as one
So take off your clothes and lay back
And let me hear you say that you're ready for this love
Baby close your eyes
Let me hold you tight in these arms
And make you feel like you're tucked away
Cuz I'll keep you safe from harm
Cuz baby you know I got you (don't worry baby)
You don't look so good
You don't look so fine
Do you think that you've
Gone too far this time
O' I'll sing you a lullaby
Is your head aching
Is your body weak
Is the floor moving
Can't you speak
How do you feel
How do you know
Do you wish you were at home
But it's a long way to go
Find a corner
Go right down
Go to sleep
You won't hear a sound
The lunacy will leave the day
Luminous in flight
As the moon spits out
In jagged beams another night
Wrap around this brilliant veil
Tranquil and unbroken
As you spiral down
A world of clay and taut convulsion
The dream swan spins
And cartwheel turns
Down deep within your violet side
The sun begins to rise
Skaing down its morining swords to thaw your frozen eyes
The dream swan spins
And so conceal the heart that aches and yearns
Hush awhile
Sleepless child
I'll be watching over you
Poem by William Blake
O for a voice like thunder, and a tongue
To drown the throat of war! When the senses
Are shaken, and the soul is driven to madness,
Who can stand? When the souls of the oppressed
Fight in the troubled air that rages, who can stand?
When the whirlwind of fury comes from the
Throne of God, when the frowns of his countenance
Drive the nations together, who can stand?
When Sin claps his broad wings over the battle,
And sails rejoicing in the flood of Death;
When souls are torn to everlasting fire,
And friends of Hell rejoice upon the slain,
O who can stand? O who hath caused this?
O who can answer at the throne of God?
The Kings and Nobles of the Land have done it!
Well, I haven't got a lot to offer
Just a rhyme and a melody
But I promised I'd write if it took all night
A lullaby for thee
CHORUS
They say there ain't no sleeping in heaven
Baby, that don't mean that you can't dream
So when you close your eyes
Know your mother and I
Pray the Lord your soul to keep
And we never got the chance to hold you
And we never got to tell you goodnight
So we hope you can hear as Jesus cradles you near
Baby, this is your lullaby
So are you running with the angels?
Are you singing with the saints?
Are you throwing a ball against a heavenly wall
Maybe swinging on the pearly gates?
Well there's so much love between us
And so much that I wanna say
I wanna ramble awhile with my beautiful child
Baby, I can hardly wait...
This is your
Lul-Lul-Lul-Lul-Lul-Lul-Lul-Lulla-bye
You're my baby
And I sing this just to show your mine
I'mma hold you til you
Sleepin in the middle of the night
This is your
Lul-Lul-Lul-Lul-Lul-Lul-Lul-la-bye
Closer than you think you are
Always there inside my heart
Miss you when you are far away
LIke the stars in outerspace
And no one could become between us
If you're the sun then baby i'm your venus
Wanna be the one you always dreamed of
This is your
Lul-Lul-Lul-Lul-Lul-Lul-Lul-Lulla-bye
You're my baby
And I sing this just to show your mine
I'mma hold you til you
Sleepin in the middle of the night
This is your
Lul-Lul-Lul-Lul-Lul-Lul-Lul-la-bye
When you're here inside my arms
I feel safe from any harm
You're like my comfort zone
When you're here i'm so at home
And no one would become between us
And you're the one I always wanna be with
Wanna be the love you always dreamed of
This is your
Lul-Lul-Lul-Lul-Lul-Lul-Lul-Lulla-bye
You're my baby
And I sing this just to show your mine
I'mma hold you til you
Sleepin in the middle of the night

You're my baby
And I sing this just to show your mine
I'mma hold you til you

This is your
Woke up yesterday
with you on my mind
so afraid of running out of time
so come around again and i'll show you what i mean
And you can tell me
exactly what you need
and we can talk all night (we can talk all night)
and i will sing you lullabies (i will sing you lullabies)
not in every arrow is pointed straight at your heart
sorry for the time i said too much
i was so afraid that you would fall out of touch
and we can talk all night (we could talk all night)
and i will sing you lullabies (i will sing you lullabies)
not every arrow is pointed straight at your heart
so come around again (so come around again)
and we can talk all night
so come around again, so come around again
and we can talk all night (and we can talk all night)
i will sing you
You're still awake and I can feel the tears dryin' on your skin
And I wish that they were mine
I touch your hand, I kiss your lips to make you feel I'm there
Just to hold you through this night
The weight of the world, this burden on your shoulders
Demons of the past, will they ever disappear?
Memories of withered dreams, illusions torn and gone
Remaining scars no one can see
This end of innocence and thought it made you strong
Your inner wounds, a part of me
I only wish to be the one you can rely on
Do you feel I care, care for all I have with you
When curtains fall and the lights begin to fade
There's only us and all masks are obsolete
You're still awake and I can sense a smile upon your face
So glad to have you by my side
Draw back my hand and let the sleep's relief enter its place
Close your eyes, sleep well tonight
Lay down your head, o'weary soldier
Lay down your head upon my knee
The fat is warm from here to heaven
It's just the way it's supposed to be
La, la, la, la
La, la, la, laa-la
It's just the way it's supposed to be
Lay down your head, o'weary sailor
Lay down your head out on the sea
And ride the waves ??? (high oer'd?) troubles
It's just the way it's supposed to be
Lay down your head, o'weary fire
Lay down your head here close to me
The winds of change may blow you wayward
It's just the way it's supposed to be
Lay down your head, my little children
Lay down your heads the night is deep
And like a dream the day is over
It's just the way it's supposed to be
Lay down your heads upon the pillows
Lay down your head it's time to sleep
And ??? (raised adorned?) may your true wishes
Be the way they're supposed to be
Mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm
Mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm-mmm
Send a wish upon a star
Do the work and you'll go far
Send a wish upon a star
Make a map and there you are
Send a hope upon a wave
A dying wish before the grave
Send a hope upon a wave
For all this souls you failed to save
And you stood tall
Now you will fall
Don't break the spell
Of a life spent trying to do well
And you stood tall
Now you will fall
Don't break the spell
Of a life spent trying to do well
Send a question in the wind
It's hard to know where to begin
So send the question in the wind
And give an answer to a friend
Place your past into a book
Put in everything you ever took
Place your past into a book
Burn the pages let them cook
And you stood tall
Now you will fall
Don't break the spell
Of a life spent trying to do well
And you stood tall
Now you will fall
Don't break the spell
Of a life spent trying to do well
Send a wish upon a star
The sun shines
and leaves blow
and my hope like autumn
is turning brown.
And I know it seems like
I'm always falling down.
But it does not matter to me although it seems like it should.
It's because I know I'm understood when I hear Him say
"Rest in me, little David and dry all your tears, you can lay down your armor and have no fear cause I'm always here when your tired of running, and I'm all the strength that you need".
It's up hill
both ways,
tomorrow I swear
I won't act this way.
And I know it seems like
that is what I always say.
But it does not matter to me although it seems like it should.
It's because I know I'm understood when I hear Him say
"Rest in me, little David and dry all your tears, you can lay down your armor and have no fear cause I'm always here when your tired of running, cause I'm all the strength that you need."
You know I want to be like Jesus,
but it seems so very far away,
I'm your nightmare
Longing just for you
You can hear my breath
And I can hear yours to
Like a creeping shadow
Hiding from the day
Wait until the darkness
To take your life so pray
You can not run
You can not hide
I gonna catch you if you try
You're longing for the morning
And for that special light
It makes you feel safe
But it'll be another night
Your blood is boiling
It makes you paralyzed
You are my only
You are my sacrifice
You can not run
You can not hide
Hello there, how was your day?
Sorry that I'm was away.
Hello there, how is the weather?
Sorry I'm not there to play....
I'm trying just to make it better for you
I know it's harder to understand
I'm always gonna love you
I promise you, I promise
I'm always thinking of you
I promise, I promise you
Hello there, why are you crying?
I know you're trying your best.
To be good now for your mother
Hold her and tell her and you're gonna be OK.
I never meant to make you feel so bad.
Hope someday you'll understand
I'm always gonna love you
I promose you, I promise
I'm always thinking of you
I promise, I promise you
I swear I'm gonna make it up to you
I know someday you'll understand
I'm always gonna love you
I promise you, I promise
Always thinking of you
Go to sleep
In my arms
A soul to keep
From all harm
I lie awake
In a crystal calm
Your face so sweet
Till the end of time
A lullaby
Makes you feel better
The world's all but died
But we're together
A lullaby
Makes you feel better
The hatred outside, really
Doesn't, really doesn't matter
Go to sleep
My baby
Go to sleep
Right next to me
You found the way
From what you've lost
The pain is great
As you pay the cost
A lullaby
Makes you feel better
The world's all but died
But we're together
A lullaby
Makes you feel better
The hatred outside, really
Doesn't, really doesn't matter
A lullaby
Makes you feel better
The world's all but died
But we're together
A lullaby
Makes you feel better
The hatred outside, really
Doesn't, really doesn't matter
It doesn't matter
It doesn't matter
It doesn't matter
It doesn't matter
It doesn't matter
It doesn't matter
It doesn't matter
It doesn't matter
On candystripe legs the spiderman comes
Softly through the shadow of the evening sun
Stealing past the windows of the blissfully dead
Looking for the victim shivering in bed
Searching out fear in the gathering gloom and
Suddenly!
A movement in the corner of the room!
And there is nothing I can do
When I realise with fright
That the spiderman is having me for dinner tonight!
Quietly he laughs and shaking his head
Creeps closer now
Closer to the foot of the bed
And softer than shadow and quicker than flies
His arms are all around me and his tongue in my eyes
"Be still be calm be quiet now my precious boy
Don't struggle like that or I will only love you more"
For it's much too late to get away or turn on the light
The spiderman is having you for dinner tonight
And I feel like I'm being eaten
By a thousand million shivering furry holes
And I know that in the morning I will wake up
In the shivering cold
Mom, please tell me what to do,
I'm so disappointed in you.
You said those words that made me cry
and I always wondered why, why I sing my lullaby.
Mom, please hurry home to me,
I've waited up so patiently.
You sit down and you start to cry,
but you never ask me why, why I sing my lullaby.
Why I sing my lullaby.
Was it my fault they led you in the wrong direction?
Was it my fault they didn't show you any affection?
I show you and I start to cry, still you always wonder why...
why I sing my lullaby.
Mom, why love me, if you're cold?
You just get bitter then grow old.
Ask me when I start to weep, then I tell you in my sleep that I sing my lullaby,
Sunday night has come again
(And still I cannot sleep)
Hidden lives have come to a head
(No more secrets left to keep)
And now that everything is gone
(The morning sun seems bittersweet)
Has the day begun already?
And now ashamed of who I am
I missed what everyone could see
Always a fight for me to change
Into the man you want me to be
A better man that shares my name
Can I look into his eyes
And see a reflection of me?
I try to make it through the day
(Too confused to disbelieve)
Did it used to be this way?
(I try to remember speaking)
But you I thought would understand
(Appreciate my weakness)
Tell me I can be a man
And now ashamed of who I am
I missed what everyone could see
Always a fight for me to change
Into the man you want me to be
A better man that shares my name
Can I look into his eyes
And see a reflection of...
What's left inside to see?
These captured thoughts, surrounding jealousy
No hope, do you believe?
If left alone these words would bury me
Still need to sing this boy to sleep
In the stillness of his room
Present a melody of peace
Beckon dreams to follow soon
But if there's no one left but him
Then the curtain has been drawn
A wasted life deserves no song
And now ashamed of who I am
I missed what everyone could see
Always a fight for me to change
Into the man you want me to be
A better man that shares my name
Can I look into his eyes
…pulling the strings for centuries
Any time that I’m on
You can sing on an on
When I spike, then I value
You could bid it up, bid it up
I don’t care as long as I fall
I don’t care, it’s the enemy
You little shit
As long as I fall, I don’t care
It’s the enemy
Any creed or any color
He’s upset for what he did
You could sanitize the prince of visine
You could bid it up, bid it up
I don’t care as long as I fall
I don’t care, it’s the enemy
You little shit
As long as I fall, I don’t care
It’s the enemy
Pulling the strings for centuries
Playing a lullaby
Flowers fall in all directions
It’s the tongue kiss
The joie de vivre
As we fell in and out of love
I thought about the century
I don’t care as long as I fall
I don’t care, it’s the enemy
You little shit
As long as I fall, I don’t care
It’s the enemy
Pulling the strings for centuries
Hush my love now don't you cry
Everything will be all right
Close your eyes and drift in dream
Rest in peaceful sleep
If there's one thing I hope I showed you
If there's one thing I hope I showed you
Hope I showed you
Just give love to all
Just give love to all
Just give love to all
Oh my love in my arms tight
Every day you give me life
As I drift off to your world
Rest in peaceful sleep
I know there's one thing that you showed me
I know there's one thing that you showed me
That you showed me
Just give love to all
Just give love to all
Just give love to all
Let's give love to all
Let's give love to all
Just give love to all
Let's give love to all
Just give love to all
(I spy something that begins with... "S"...)
On candystripe legs the spiderman comes,
softly through the shadow of the evening sun
Stealing past the windows of the blissfully dead,
looking for the victim shivering in bed
Searching out fear in the gathering gloom
and suddenly! a movement in the corner of the room
And there is nothing I can do,
when I realise with fright
That the spiderman is having me for dinner tonight!
Quietly he laughs and shaking his head,
creeps closer now, closer to the foot of the bed
And softer than shadow and quicker than flies,
his arms are all around me and his tongue in my eyes
"Be still, be calm, be quiet now my precious boy,
don't struggle like that or I will only love you more
For it's much too late to get away
or turn on the light,
the spiderman is having you for dinner tonight"
And I feel like I'm being eaten
by a thousand million shivering furry.. holes
And I know that in the morning
I will wake up in the shivering cold...
lullaby playing in my head
volume's loud enough to wake the dead
terrified that i might really be
what everyone else thinks of me
and i happened all the time
i left it all behind
when i was young i always needed help
i never had the nerve to be myself
recognize that i will never care
who am i to way just what is fair
compromise my position is clear
Just close your eyes
Fall fast asleep
I'm by your side
There in your dreams
I tuck you in
You smile at me
The best of friends
Yeah you and me
You'll always be my little man
The day will come you'll leave this nest
No matter where you choose to fly
I'll still sing you this lullaby
I look at you
You're growing tall
Time slips away
Yeah from us all
So I hold on I won't let go
And when you leave
I hope you know
You'll always be my little man
The day will come you'll leave this nest
No matter where you choose to fly
I'll still sing you this lullaby
And there'll be times when you make mistakes
Yeah but that's ok cause we all do (cause we all do)
But makes no different cause I won't change my love for you
You'll always be my little man
The day will come you'll leave this nest
No matter where you choose to fly
Always and forever
We'll be free
Always and forever
Be with me
We'll have love aplenty
We'll have joys outnumbered
We'll share perfect moments
You and me
Always and forever
You will see
Always and forever
Just be with me
We'll have love aplenty
We'll have joys outnumbered
We'll share perfect moments
You and me
Open her eyes
Cause her to fall in love with me
Help me to speak
Bless me with words she will feel
Oh let it rain
Droplets of sunshine in her life
Give her the world
But let it be me she longs to hold
I can't wait
I won't wait
'Cause tomorrow's too late
And I need her right now in my life
All that I'm praying for
Is my voice finds her like a lullaby
Sings her to sleep
She'll wake with me
Rewind the days
To when she first laid eyes on
Ignite the fire
Let it burn uncontrollably
Oh I'm in love
I've never felt this way before
Make her feel the same
And I will ask of you no more
I can't wait
I won't wait
'Cause tomorrow's too late
And I need her right now in my life
All that I'm praying for
Is my love finds her like a lullaby
Finds her in the night
Sings her to sleep
All that I'm hoping for
Is my voice finds her like a lullaby
Sings her to sleep
She'll wake with me
This is my prayer
I've no shame to declare that I'm praying for her
(Please wake with me)
I laid down a love song
Made up this melody
Oh let this lullaby
Cry out and catch her
She's all I want
I can't wait to see your faces
I can't wait to hold your hands
I can't wait to take you places
And watch you try to understand
But until I do
Yeah, until I do
I'll be right here waiting for you
I can't wait to see your faces
And I can't wait to hold your hands
When you get here, it's off to the races
And we'll tackle all life's demands
But until I do
Yeah, until I do
I'll be right here singing for you
Soon I will see your faces
And I'll get to hold your hands
I know I'll have trouble trying to explain
The things I don't understand
And until I do
Since I won't have a clue
I'll just sing this song for you
Yeah, until I do
And this is you-know-who
Aijou kata no kimi no mikeneko

For your lady something sweet
A lullaby before she sleeps
And if your lady should awake
You'll hold her in your arms
Again, again, again
For your children, something sweet
A lullaby before they sleep
And if your children should awake
You'll hold them in your arms
Again, again, again
It soon will be morning
It soon will be morning
It soon will be morning again
For your good self, something sweet
A lullaby before you sleep
And if you still should awake
Then you will see the break of day
Just close your eyes
Take in the tune I send to you
Oh my lullaby
Can soothe when yourfriends have moved to Neptune
Chorus:
It must be the way that I can hear you say this now
Don't be afraid
Just know that I'll be with you somehow
All of your cries
Soon they will drown in my lullabies
Just close your eyes
Just close your eyes
Don't be afraid
When the day has become your lion's den
It's pure concentrate
Your comforting words have marked a trend
I'm giving up
Wishing on the falling stars
I'm living up to something new
I've made a vow
It's taken me high
It's taken me far
I'll keep singing your rune
You'll hear it all around
Go back to sleep...
Go back to sleep [whispered]
....
Sleep little baby don't you fret
mamma's gonna say a little prayer
then mama's gonna get some masking tape
and fix the hole in the ozone layer
sleep little angel, baby dove
sun's gone down, it's getting late
mamma's got her chicken soup of love
for the bad old world is sick with hate
wish that I could give you child
all the beauty I have seen
all the nature growing wild
far from your computer screen
who knows what the world will be,
angel child, when your are grown,
mamma's gonna sing you a melody
that you can humm when you're alone
now you're in you're cozy bed,
sleep little angel, drop of mud,
there's a journey in your head
and desert winds blow in your blood
wicked wolf and wicked world
howling in the moonless sky
but mamma's here to fend them off
She left town on a 3 o'clock train,
Goin' God knows where...far away,
And the last words she spoke to me's,
"I'll be all right."
She grew up in a sad dark place,
The kind of path you don't retrace.
Been tryin' to wake from nightmares,
All her days.
Goodnight, goodnight, goodnight, goodnight,
Oh goodnight...and this is her lullaby.
The LA sun, it warms her face,
And she don't seem so far away.
She sends photographs,
To hold me tight.
I call her on the phone again,
And ask if she'll come home, and then,
I won't hang up,
Until she says she might.
Goodnight, goodnight, goodnight, goodnight,
Oh goodnight...and this is her lullaby.
Goodnight, goodnight, goodnight, goodnight,
Oh goodnight...and this is her lullaby.
I don't know if I believe,
I'm everything this woman needs,
But I swear on my soul,
I'd rather die than let her go.
She's been searching from the start,
For pieces of her tattered heart.
I know...but I'm not sure...
These winter nights, she's in my prayers.
I wake to find she isn't there...
And every time,
I laugh until I cry.
Goodnight, goodnight, goodnight, goodnight,
Oh goodnight...and this is her lullaby.
Goodnight, goodnight, goodnight, goodnight,
Oh goodnight...and this is her lullaby.
It's the way that you blush when you're nervous
It's your ability to make me earn this.
I know that you're tired,
Just let me sing you to sleep.
It's about how you laugh out of pity
'Cause let's be honest, I'm not really that funny
I know that you're shy,
Just let me sing you to sleep.
If you need anything,
Just say the word, I mean anything.
Rest assured, if you start to doze
Then I'll tuck you in,
Plant my lips where your necklace is closed.
It's those pills that you don't need to take,
Medicating perfection, now that's a mistake.
I know that you're spent,
Just let me sing you to sleep.
It's your finger, and how I'm wrapped around it
It's your grace, and how it keeps me grounded
I know that you're weak,
Just let me sing you to sleep.
If you need anything,
Just say the word, I mean anything.
Rest assured, if you start to doze
Then I'll tuck you in,
Plant my lips where your necklace is closed.
While you were sleeping,
I figured out everything:
I was constructed for you,
And you were molded for me.
Now I feel your name.
Coursin' through my veins.
You shine so bright, it's insane.
You put the sun to shame.
If you need anything,
Just say the word, I mean anything. (I really do)
Rest assured, if you start to doze
Then I'll tuck you in,
Plant my lips where your necklace is closed.
If you need anything,
Just say the word, I mean anything.
Rest assured, if you start to doze
Then I'll tuck you in,
Plant my lips where your necklace is closed.
I wrote this song because of you,
For all the things I meant to do,
Lullaby, help me try to tell her,
We were a star, we had it all,
But even shooting stars must fall,
Lullaby, tell me why,
Oh so many times I tried to say those things I felt inside.
But words would hide from me,
But there will come a time, when these words I say in rhyme,
Will hold you in a whisper and that whisper will be mine,
So if you listen you will hear a laughing smile, a silent tear,
And when you hear these words you'll know it is true,
I wrote this Lullaby for you.
Heaven told me how
don't you cry
is gonna make me fall
a lonely times
fly away from here my dear
but don't you ever drop a single tear
all you leave behind you can't go back
everything you left is turning back
little girl why don't you go home
back to the place you've always known
leave when it's over
you make this place all new
cry on this shoulder but don't turn away, yeah
swim in the ocean
and fly into tears
pretend that it never happened here
heaven told me how
don't you cry
is gonna make me fall
a lonely times
fly away from here my dear
but don't you ever drop a single tear
all you leave behind you can't go back
everything you left is turning back
little girl why don't you go home
back to the place you've always known
leave when it's over
you make this place all new
cry on this shoulder but don't turn away, yeah
swim in the ocean
and fly into tears
pretend that it never happened here
nooo, wow
fly (x3)
leave when it's over
you make this place all new
cry on this shoulder but don't turn away, yeah
swim in the ocean
and fly into tears
I cannot say ‘oh sweetness’
like he could
and I cannot play a lullaby
like it should
I’ll give you all night movie marathon
and a triple expresso so you can stay awake
it might be late - but
it’s never too late for that lovin
my sexy babe
I used to cry but now I have to laugh
because she’s got that torment
to a fine art
smart like a foxy
and craf-ty-as-a-cat
i’m looking up
as i’m lying on my back
bite the beast
if i want a big piece of the pie
but she’s taken the feast
in the blink of an eye
I can-not-jus-ti-fy
what’s going on
- it feels so right
when it seems so wrong
like a plot hatched
in the sweet spot of that trap
- ask what she’s schemes
she say ‘oh this and that’
then she snaps like a camera
in black with a flash
puts the drum in the drama
the hand in the clap
she’s a map with no bearings
attached - no
safety-in-this-match
fire you can’t catch
then zap I was struck by that
bolt before dawn
then by breakfast honey
we was signed and sworn
I’ll give you all night movie marathon
and a triple expresso so you can stay awake
it might be late - but
it’s never too late for that lovin
my sexy babe
something always telling me
‘save prayers before dawn’
cos what happens when I’m with you
makes me shake my head then smile and yawn
I’m worn out but I’m beaming
and it seems that we are dreamy
as we head out through that strange old morning door
This game is no game
but it’s played all the same
and I love it even
if it makes me deranged
it’s like tears in the rain
burning spears in my brain
cause me pain sometimes
make me drained
but I cannot complain
- mad the ugly good and bad
had some happy with my sad
and some tricks in my bag
when it’s up run a muck
like a bull that just bucked
when it’s down it’s a drag
and you fight with no partner to tag
- at times I would dive in the sea
to escape from the rising
and crashing malea
drink tea with a fat fish
and find a golden key
then rise to the surface
and open my baby
and maybe she’d say ‘we are crazy’
the two of us together like melbourne weather
be like balls in a maze see
we rolling along in obscurity
but when we meet in the middle
say mmm it’s a treat
I’ll give you all night movie marathon
and a triple expresso so you can stay awake
- it might be late but
it’s never too late for that lovin
my sexy babe
something always telling me
‘save your prayers before dawn’
cos what happens when I’m with you
makes me shake my head then smile and yawn
I’m worn out but I’m beaming
and it seems that we are dreamy
as we head out through that strange old morning door
I used to laugh
but now I have to cry
because today my baby tell me
that it’s time to say goodbye
ask her ‘why what did I do?
You and me we were so sly’
then she sigh ‘that’s true
we were slinky through and through
but it’s sad and it’s set
I get high then I get depressed
and I guess when we’re together
it’s that happy kind of stress’
touching left right down
kiss my finger I reply
‘I can’t deny you were the best
and by the best I mean the mess you made
I must confess I never
met-a-more sexy maid
that smell like me
so bless your wayward ways
and loving craze and crazy days
and things you’de say
and looks you made
you’re not the queen of hearts
you’re the queen of spades
and you’de take my breath away
any day that way
so anyway is this the end?
Is this the fifth act of the play?
I kissed her then I turned
and was about to walk away
when I sense a little tingle
that begin down from below
then I hear her with a whisper
‘you’re the most gullible man I know’
In a rusty ruined tavern
Face to face they sat all night
One was good, another evil,
They had dice and ale to fight
Good was dressed in long white cloak,
Red coat wore another man
Wolves a-howled and ravens croaked
Three eyes watched at dice as one
In a rusty ruined tavern
Face to face they sat all night
One was good, another evil,
They had dice and ale to fight
Many bets were made by players
Many crowns were spent that night
One was good, another evil,
Thus they had a lot to fight
Final round - they're to throw
Once and winner takes the bank
Only one appeared for old man
But another's dice was blank
Evil looked with growing hatred,
Heat was both in air and mind
So he turned into the fire
Good had vision of a kind
One was thrown for eye and water
One - the water rears the vine
One - the rival is immortal
One - we have one face and sign
Nothing thrown for tree of wisdom
Nothing - arrow mistletoe
Nothing - is the evil guilty?
Nothing - is he friend or foe?
Fire vanished, empty chair
Was aside of good old man
Void in jug and void in memory
Were there three of eyes or one?
So the good rose up his brimmer,
Drained it dry and fell asleep
Ravens croak and wolves a-howling
Were enough for dreams to keep
Weaver smiled and turned the spindle
And a day replaced the night
One was good, another evil,
(K. Grimwood/E. Idlet)
Close your eyes, and I'll sing you a song,
Lullaby, sleep until dawn.
The cricket's serenade echoes softly through the night.
The stars are on the lake, and the moon is shining bright.
Don't worry, I'll leave the light on in the hall;
Just go to sleep now, close your eyes.
Close your eyes, listen to my song,
Lullaby, sleep until the dawn.
The birds are in their nest, and the cows are in the barn,
The covers on your bed will keep you safe and warm;
Don't worry, I'll be beside you should you call,
Just go to sleep now, close your eyes.
Dragons in the sky,
Flying with their golden treasure,
If you catch their eye,
Wishes granted, more than you can measure;
I'll be beside you should you fall,
Just go to sleep now, close your eyes.
The cricket's serenade echoes softly through the night.
The stars are on the lake, and the moon is shining bright.
Don't worry, I'll leave the light on in the hall;
Just go to sleep now, close your eyes.
It's the way that you blush when you're nervous.
It's your ability to make me earn this.
I know that you're tired, just let me sing you to sleep.
It's about how you laugh out of pity,
'Cause lets be honest I'm not really that funny.
I know that you're shy, just let me sing you to sleep.
If you need anything, just the say the word.
I mean anything.
Rest assured, if you start to doze, then I'll tuck you in,
Plant my lips where your necklace is close.
It's those pills that you don't need to take,
medicating perfection, now that's a mistake.
I know that you're spent, just let me sing you to sleep.

Rest assured, if you start to doze, then I'll tuck you in,
Plant my lips where your necklace is close.
While you were sleeping I figured out everything,
I was constructed for you, and you were molded for me.
Now I feel your name, coursing through my veins.
You shine so bright it's insane, you put the sun to shame.
(Oh)
If you need anything, just the say the word.
I mean anything. (I really do)
Rest assured, if you start to doze, then I'll tuck you in,
Plant my lips where your necklace is close.
If you need anything, just the say the word.
I mean anything.
Rest assured, if you start to doze, then I'll tuck you in,
Plant my lips where your necklace is close.
[GRANIA]
As I hold you in my arms
You are wondrous in my eyes
I can feel release and bliss wrapped up in radiant surprise
This is joy sent from above
No one ever told me of
Only women know this love
Woman is born
Woman is blessed
To feel a babe feed at my breast
Until it's happening
Your heart can't know
You are a hope
You are a prayer
We have a secret no one can share
You were inside me, who could guess?
I have mother's heart, no less
Am I to be a woman?
Have you lost your way?
Do you think you'll get it back again?
Did you find something in the rubble of your memory?
It's a mystery
That through a death I found my life again
And in suffering I found a key that I had thrown away
And now I've started it up
And I filled up my cup
And now I'm lost in your love
And it's more than a memory
And now I've started again
And what I thought was the end
Was another beginning from here to eternity
So here we are
Flesh and bone and spirit lifted up
And that's everything
You've ever needed and it's all you've got
All we've got
Hallelujah
Have you lost your way?
Do you think you'll get it back again?
Did you find something in the rubble of your memory?
It's a mystery
That through a death I found my life again
And in suffering I found a key that I had thrown away
And now I've started it up
And I filled up my cup
And now I'm lost in your love
And it's more than a memory
And now I've started again
And what I thought was the end
Was another beginning from here to eternity
So here we are
Flesh and bone and spirit lifted up
And that's everything
You've ever needed and it's all you've got
All we've got
Once upon a time
or so the stories told
everyone lives happily
as the end unfolds
Forever sweet
nd never ending
All I want
is to know why
life is not
a lullaby
Reality tells
a different kind of tale
Everybody tries to win
but everyone fails
It's never sweet
and never ending
All I want
is to know why
life is not
a lullaby
It's all a lie
Tell me why
It's all a lie
the lullaby
All a lie, all a lie
Tell me why, tell me why
All a lie, all a lie
All I want
is to know why
life is not
The long long day is through
The lights been replaced by blue
You lie awake in your room
Thinking about what to do
And everything depends
On one single chance
Should you accept this dance
The last ten years have flown
Days come and then they go
Is this your life you're meant to know
Is it too late for you to glow
Everything depends
On one single chance
Should you accept this dance
The long long day is through
Figure out what is true
Close your eyes and think about
What you can live without
Close your eyes and think about
After the moon comes up, all of the toys behind closed doors
open their eyes and move their squeaky joints across the floor.
Rocking horses run, tinker toys assembling,
twisting mobile stars, dancing dolls and spinning cars.
Stop, will you stop? Will you stop and speak to me?
Wake, I know you're awake. Move your mouth and speak to me.
I'm not the kind who will take it for granted,
no, I'm not the kind who will take it for granted.
How I would like to know all the toy soldiers in a row,
marching to and fro, all the tin soldiers in a row.
Tiny painted mouths, how I wish you'd utter now,
words of nursery rhyme, tongue and teeth all click in time.
Stop, will you stop? Will you stop and speak to me?
Wake, I know you're awake. Move your mouth and speak to me.
I'm not the kind who will take you for granted,
Didn't they teach you, everything's okay if you settle enough?
Forget your dreams, let's pretend I'm everything you want me to be.
Complicated breathing, you never had the guts just to throw me away.
Life moves slow when everythings a worse version of what you need.
And I'm just the ground that you happened to fall on,
When you lost your balance, walking around in the rain.
And you got to your feet, scratched your head,
And started to gather the life that you dropped all around me.
I can't fight for a graveyard, anymore.
Some people have no money,
To keep their legs pumping away at the ground.
What moves me is fear,
That I'll always be alone at the end of the day.
(At the end of the day)
And I'm just the ground that you happened to fall on,
When you lost your balance, walking around in the rain.
And you got to your feet, scratched your head,
And started to gather the life that you dropped all around me.
I can't fight for a graveyard,
I can't fight for a graveyard, anymore.
I'm just the ground that you happened to fall on.
I'm just the ground. [x3]
And I'm just the ground that you happened to fall on,
When you lost your balance, walking around in the rain.
And you got to your feet, scratched your head,
And started to gather the life that you dropped all around me.
I'm just the ground [x4]
Sleep lay me down and hold me closely in your arms
And I will close my eyes Please promise me
That when I wake up from my dreams
You'll be there by my side
* Love if you'll say You won't slip away
Then I can go dreaming of forever more
But I won't rest until I know that you will be here
In the morning by my side
Repeat *
Get back on your feet again
So insincere
Quiet American
I held you so dear
Get back on your feet again
I'm so into you
We met in a cinema
You fell from my view
Lullaby
Stop twisting my words tonight
If you get high on life
Don't leave me behind
Get back on your feet again
Nothing to say
Some of your weaker friends
Get in my away
Get back on your feet again
You always seem down
Some of your weaker friends
Don't want you around
Lullaby
Stop twisting my words tonight
If you get high on life
Don't leave me behind
Lullaby
You live in my ruined mind
Make light of all my fears
And lead me from here
Get back on your feet again
So insincere
Quiet American
I held you so dear
Get back on your feet again
Nothing to say
We met in a cinema
You got in my way
Lullaby
Stop twisting my words tonight
If you get high on life
Don't leave me behind
Lullaby
You live in my ruined mind
Make light of all my fears
And though my sermon salts the air
My ears are soon left empty, silence still holds dominion
Words once adorned are now laid bear
Unpolished lumps of nothing, so much unheard opinion
Silence now dill, Hush now be still
All is at ease, Rest now 'n peace
Come now sleep
So shut My mouth and close my eyes
I've no strength left to patronize
so much to see with eyes wide open
but not a thing worth placing hope in
So hold me now in sweet pretense
If life's not worth the effort at least it keeps my interest
like fools embracing ignorance
striving to still ambition, hopes grip is so relentless
silent now rest come happiness
all is at ease hush now don't speak
come now sleep
So shut my mouth and close my eyes
I've no faith left to compromise
there's so much to see with eyes wide open
but not a thing worth placing hope in
Is that the Idea, It all seems like such a rip-off
Am I supposed to act like it's O.K.?
and take it like a man?
Don't give me that fantasy, I've nothing but
apathy and Impotent anger
And not a thing worth placing hope or anticipation
accept the gentle thought of darkness
and silence
Together we were holding hands
Fighters in the graffiti land
In darkness firing at the city walls
Spray guns the weapon of our generation
And you sleep
I speak to you
There's something in the shadows
I want, I want to tell you now
But I don't know how
Chorus: I'm watching over you
Chasing nightmares away
My soul is so cool
Thou I can't forget those days
I still recall the tear gas smell
Remember the street fighting hell
Filled with fear we all ran together
And those behind us will haunt me forever
And you sleep
I speak to you
There's something in the shadows
I want, I want to tell you now
I'm your nightmare
longing just for you
you can hear my breath
and I can hear yours to
like a creeping shadow
hiding from the day
wait until the darkness
to take your life so pray
you can not run
you can not hide
I'm gonna catch you if you try
you're longing for the morning
and for that special light
it makes you feel safe
but it'll be another night
your blood is boiling
it makes you paralysed
you are my only
you are my sacrifice
you can not run
you can not hide
Go to sleep little one
May it be peaceful
May you dream of lovely things
And awake to find them real
Little one
Close your eyes little one
This is your lullaby
The love of God is evident in the miracle of you
Just rest your eyes, if they're getting heavy.
Rest your head on my pillow.
If you want, I can keep singing softly.
Or you can try counting sheep.
Beautiful things, beautiful things, beautiful things are coming.
Beautiful things, beautiful things, beautiful things are coming to you.
Just picture the sun and it's heat.
Resting upon your fingertips.
As it moves across, the rest of your body.
Relax and keep your mind at ease
Beautiful things, beautiful things, beautiful things are coming.
Days feel harder, night grows longer
Summer days its goodbyes
Darkness conver, we find shelter
Our own place to hide
Oh as the light goes out
Facts turn to angels on the run
Oh as the night comes in
Dreams start their drifting and you hear a lullaby
Lullaby
You and I
Trees touch windows say their hellos
Hear this house as it settles in
Worry slips away it don't know your name
It don't know it thunders
Oh as the light goes out
Facts turn to angels on the run
Oh as the night comes in
Dreams start their drifting and you hear a lullaby
A lullaby
When you're so lonely lying in bed
Night's closed it's eyes but you can't rest your head
Everyone's sleeping all through the house
You wish you could dream but forgot to somehow
Sing this lullaby to yourself
Sing this lullaby to yourself
And if you are waiting, waiting for me
Know I'll be home soon darling I guarantee
I'll be home Sunday just in one week
Dry up your tears if you start to weep
And sing this lullaby to yourself
Sing this lullaby to yourself
Lullaby, I'm not nearby
Sing this lullaby to yourself
Don't you cry, no don't you cry
Sing this lullaby to yourself
Cause when I arrive dear it won't be that long
No it won't seem like anytime that I've been gone
It ain't the first time it won't be the last
Won't you remember these words to help the time pass?
So when you're so lonely lying in bed
Night's closed it's eyes but you can't rest your head
Everyone's sleeping all through the house
You wish you could dream but forgot to somehow
Sing this lullaby to yourself
Sing this lullaby to yourself
Sing this lullaby, sing this lullaby
