Lullaby

The dark she falls down on her knees
She says “follow me, its easy.
“I know you know you’ve been missing me
Let me show you what is pleasing”

And I find myself falling towards her face

The dark she falls down on her knees
She says “follow me its easy.
“Look up and see the crooked nose
Of the world looking down on you”

And she knows I know she knows I think its true

But to me your sweet name is a lullaby
I hold your hands in my hope that I’ll be by your side
To me your sweet name is a lullaby
And I won’t abandon you

Its only because of you my love

I could fall into that cold embrace so quick

The dark she holds me tight and says
She knows nobody needs me
She unzips my skin and says she knows
all about what grieves me

I could fall into this cold embrace so quick

Hungrily she consumes my fear
That I’m further from life than dirt
A martyr to mediocrity
She says come on embrace the hurt

And it all comes crashing down around so quick

But to me your sweet name is a lullaby
I hold your hands in my hope that I’ll be by your side
To me your sweet name is a lullaby
And I won’t abandon you

And the blessings pour from your mouth
Into mine like the wine from a long summer draught
I’ve been waiting for you

To me your sweet name is a lullaby
I hold your hands in my hope that I’ll be by your side
To me your sweet name is a lullaby
And I won’t abandon you
