Hush Now

I won't bury you in the basement

As I've been known to do

I won't bludgeon your memory

Leave you crying out for truth

There's a song we sing together

The song of me and you

And I was hoping that we could fix it

At least just fiddle around with the tune

But you go right, I go left

You go forward, I go back

And we're dancing this waltz alone

You go up, I go down, lost our grip

And now we've found ourselves

Dancing this waltz alone

Hush now, don't cry

It's just a lullaby

I won't leave you

Til you close your eyes

Hush now don't cry

It's just a lullaby

I'll tell you sweet lies

I won't leave your side

We were peaceful when we were sleeping

Or after we had a fight

We were civil when people were watching

We were worst when we were right

You'd go in, I'd go out

We'd forget what it's about

And we'd start dancing this waltz alone

You would smile and I'd frown

You gave it up, now who's the clown

That is dancing this waltz alone

Hush now, don't cry

It's just a lullaby

I won't leave you

Til you close your eyes

Hush now don't cry

It's just a lullaby

I'll tell you sweet lies

I won't leave your side
