I’m alone with what’s left of my life 
while the moon cuts the night like a knife
I am starved as the sigh of the stars
you’re the pulse in the rhythm of the hours
turned to years but the night never ends
you heal me you open the wounds again
and any promise of dawn of day
is so far so far away
the lullaby of loneliness
the lullaby of loneliness

just a sick little trick of the light
 just the moon rolling cold through the lips of the night
just a whisper like smoke on the tongue 
dying words of a distant sun
just the murmur of fire in the vein
 just the winding of time on its chain
just the shadows the longing the deep 
of your song but it won’t bring me sleep
the lullaby of loneliness
the lullaby of loneliness

the night wears your face
the night wears your face
