POGUES - Lullaby Of London lyrics

rate me

As I walked down by the riverside<br>One evening in the spring<br>Heard a long gone song<br>From days gone by<br>Blown in on the great north wind<br>Though there is no lonesome corncrake's cry<br>Of sorrow and delight<br>You can hear the cars<br>And the shouts from bars<br>And the laughter and the fights<br><br>May the ghosts that howled<br>Round the house at night<br>Never keep you from your sleep<br>May they all sleep tight<br>Down in hell tonight<br>Or wherever they may be<br><br>As I walked on with a heavy heart<br>Then a stone danced on the tide<br>And the song went on<br>Though the lights were gone<br>And the north wind gently sighed<br>And an evening breeze coming from the east<br>That kissed the riverside<br>So I pray now child that you sleep tonight<br>When you hear this lullaby<br>May the wind that blows from haunted graves<br>Never bring you misery<br>May the angels bright<br>Watch you tonight<br>And keep you while you sleep
