The Waters of Babylon
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Let me sing a lullaby
Shadowplay across your face
I won't take a thing away
All the stars are in their place
Doesn't matter who you are
I won't leave you in the dark
Close your eyes so you can see
The world the way it used to be
Children born on shaky ground
Falling rain turns green to grey
There's no shelter from the storm
Silver lining washed away
Scent of something long since gone
Precious things don't last too long
Close your eyes so you can see
The world the way it used to be
Rising moon dips blue to black
Now the trees begin to weep
Broken gods upon their knees
By the waters of Babylon
Touch me and I'll disappear
You look at me too long I fear
Close your eyes so you can see
The world the way it used to be
