It's a sad old world that's turning
Tonight as I slide through the streams
Of moonlight and memory burning
And in my hands your broken dream

My watery eye
I sing for 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
Til the night is dead

All these useless emotions churning round As I search these bare walls for a clue
And all the time
The truth is flashing in my mind
That when a heart gets broken
Aint nothing you can do

And I‚m packing my belongings
Off I'll be gone before the noon arrives
Cos I know there's no use pretending
That soon it'll all be alright
