Its 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 [bad word] 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
