Some things no longer exist Like the nowness of your kiss A sweet romance that never dies Or the truth after a lie Your hands around my hips A foolish love that doesn't grow The rosy use of tomorrow Your No5 all 'round my house The color in a worn out blouse And so I write you Lullabies To make you think about me when you cry Must be a reason for your cold goodbye Leaving a heart as lonely as is mine Now that's a crime A breeding darkness at my side As if your leaving took my light Now you're someone I used to see A thought that never grows on me And so I write you Lullabies To make you think about me when you cry Must be a reason for your cold goodbye Leaving a heart as lonely as is mine That's a crime Baby, you're the hardest melody You are all the notes that I can't reach I try to cover my ears But all I ever hear Is Lullabies To make you think about me when you cry Must be a reason for your cold goodbye Leaving a heart as lonely as is mine That's a crime Lullabies I know I made you cry a thousand times You've done some stupid things And so did I But leaving a heart as lonely as is mine Now that's a crime
