Lullabies, oh lullabies
Weren’t made for children’s
Little cries
Were made for lover’s
Shattered lives
So they could lay and die

Pretty baby, don’t you scream
Simply lay down your head and dream
As the moon sets down its beams
And in the light your blood does gleam

Lullabies, oh lullabies
Weren’t made for children’s
Little cries
Were made for lover’s
Shattered lives
So they could lay and die

Woman holds him through the night
Dancing in the streaming light
Romancing to his cheep delight
Her crimson heart no longer white

Lullabies, oh lullabies
Weren’t made for children’s
Little cries
Were made for lover’s
Shattered lives
So they could lay and die

She kissed him coolly so discreet
Stroking softly on the sheet
Suddenly he was complete
Never seeing her deceit

Lullabies, oh lullabies
Weren’t made for children’s
Little cries
Were made for lover’s
Shattered lives
So they could lay and die
