Lullaby For The Taken lyrics
Bombs are dropping, smoke fills the air I wanna duck and cover, but I've gotta stay out here Cause I know myself, and if I hole up in my room I'll be consumed by the doom and the gloom
So I called John, cause I know he knows sorrow He said 'I'll be in the city tomorrow' So I go down and I watch him sing And the way he sings sends a chill right through me, yeah
And now there's a mountain goat Precariously balanced on the frog stuck in my throat It says 'Sometimes whispering's okay But maybe you'd feel better, if you screamed today'
The lady took the baby I know she loves the baby But the baby has a daddy And his daddy loves him too
How could she take the baby? Maybe she's gone crazy She won't share, it's not fair There's nothing I can do
The lady took the baby I know she loves the baby But the baby has a daddy And his daddy loves him too How could she take the baby? Maybe she's gone crazy She won't share, it's not fair There's nothing I can do
Tuesday night Grandma curled up in my bed By Wednesday morning my grandma was dead I was in Charlotte, I took the bus home Her shoes, watch, and teeth were still in my room
And as I lay me down to sleep I felt her spirit rise up through me She said 'I got to live a long eighty six years Dry your tears
I know it's hard, but please let go So I can meet your grandpa in the undertow Chin up girl, you've gotta be strong And know when you're singing I'm singing along'
The lady took the baby I know she loves the baby But the baby has a daddy And his daddy loves him too How could she take the baby? Maybe she's gone crazy She won't share, it's not fair There's nothing I can do
The lady took the baby I know she loves the baby But the baby has a daddy And his daddy loves him too How could she take the baby? Maybe she's gone crazy She won't share, it's not fair There's nothing I can do
Little bitty baby so far away We hope that you can come home soon When we're not together, now or ever Always remember I love you
Little bitty baby so far away We hope that you can come home soon When we're not together, now or ever Always remember I love you
