Vertical Horizon - Children's Lullaby lyrics

rate me

Little girl was down by the waterside The sun so hot and the roses so red where she lie As little boys sit and watch as she twirls all around Sunny smiles, not a raincloud could bring that girl down But now.... What's behind those big brown eyes Do you dream at night Without your lullaby Little boy sits alone as he sings in the dark Wondering if his own dreams had pulled them apart He sings a song of tomorrow he never can see Mostly sings of a lost little girl's memory And now... As his dreams go flashing by He begins to hear A lonely lullaby Well now We used to sing And we used to cry Through everything In our children's lullaby Little girl on the street with nobody around Has her head in the air, dirty feet on the ground She shuts her eyes and she wonders is this a mistake Now she's gone from the warmth of her little boy days And still... She believes that she'll get by On her own without Her little boy's lullaby Little boy prays to God to answer his song To hold her hand when everyone else's are gone Time goes by and the wounds slowly turn into scars So he makes his final wish on the midnight stars And he screams... Little girl won't you hear my cry Won't you come back home To your lover's lullaby Little girl down by the waterside Goodbye... Goodbye... Goodbye
