Lyrics for Lullaby
Sleep, baby, sleep (ooh) The day's on the run (ooh) The wind in the trees (ooh) Is talking in tongues (ooh) (If your heart is torn) I don't wonder why If the night is long (if the night is long) Here's my lullaby Here's my lullaby Well, the mouse ate the crumb (ooh) Then the cat ate the crust (ooh) Now they've fallen in love (ooh) And they're talking in tongues (ooh) (If your heart is torn) I don't wonder why If the night is long Here's my lullaby Here's my lullaby Sleep, baby, sleep (ooh) There's a morning to come (ooh) The wind in the trees (ooh) They're talking in tongues (ooh) (If your heart is torn) I don't wonder why If the night is long (if the night is long) Here's my lullaby Here's my lullaby
