She sang a lullaby
To help me sleep at night,
She sang a lullaby
To help me sleep so tight.
She played her dateless piano
With the rhythm in her hands
She played the tone of high and low,
I played with vague demands.
She sang a vivacious song
With a greatly tired voice,
She gave me beat when I felt alone
But I just gave her an eerie noise.
She sang a lullaby
And danced with my fearful night,
I sang a destructive sigh
And took away her light.
She sang a lullaby
But I just ignored her light,
She gave me light at home,
Yet I gave her the darkest sight.
She sang a lullaby
‘til the demise of her sound,
She sang with my cries
On this devouring ground.
She sang a lullaby
‘til her throat gave up
She kept on singing with might
But now I’ve seen her stop.
She has stopped the lullaby,
For her life is now gone;
And now I’ve seen her light,
But it’s fading with my dreadful town.
She’s now lying on the ground
And I can’t do anything but cry
I lost her melodious sound,
So I just sing her a lullaby.
She sang a lullaby
To help me sleep at night
Now, I sing her lullaby
To wake her up tonight.

She sang a lullaby
To help me sleep at night,
She sang a lullaby
To help me sleep so tight.
She played her dateless piano
With the rhythm in her hands
She played the tone of high and low,

She sang a vivacious song
With a greatly tired voice,
She gave me beat when I felt alone
But I just gave her an eerie noise.
She sang a lullaby
And danced with my fearful night,
I sang a destructive sigh
And took away her light.
She sang a lullaby
But I just ignored her light,
She gave me light at home,
Yet I gave her the darkest sight.
She sang a lullaby
‘til the demise of her sound,
She sang with my cries
On this devouring ground.
She sang a lullaby
‘til her throat gave up
She kept on singing with might
But now I’ve seen her stop.
She has stopped the lullaby,
For her life is now gone;
And now I’ve seen her light,
But it’s fading with my dreadful town.
She’s now lying on the ground
And I can’t do anything but cry
I lost her melodious sound,
So I just sing her a lullaby.
She sang a lullaby
To help me sleep at night
Now, I sing her lullaby
To wake her up tonight.
