Lullaby

Who heard the tree that fell on me
Who heard my cries there beneath it
With no one around, do we make a sound
Will no one else hear of our secret
I have pushed and I’ve pulled until I’ve turned blue
Tried counting sheep and made it to two
I have gazed at the stars and the man in the moon
Tried thinking of anything but you
Oh me, in this world of sorrow
Missing your world of love
May I leave this world of sorrow
For a world made just for us
Just for us
I count the hours as they pass me by
And I count up all that I’ve done
Every echoed sound that haunts me now
As I lie here and wait out the sun
And if daybreak doesn’t make it
I’m not sure how I’ll take it
For I’d surely hate to break it off so soon
But there’s no one around to hear all of this sound
Myself and these trees have been making
Oh me in this world of sorrow
Missing your world of love
May I leave this world of sorrow
For a world made just for us
Just for us
