Lullaby - David Gray

It’s 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

Hear the bells
