Sugar House Lullaby

You live in a sugar house

It's been boarded up for years

You sleep in an expensive bed

It's made of lily pads and spiderwebs

And in your dreams

When I can't sleep

You sing me lullabies

From the deep

The flies are dancing on the wall

They left their shadows there for you

The winter soon will come again

You can watch the icicles

And in your dreams

When you can't sleep

I'll sing you lullabies

From the deep

My sweet Marie

You came for me

I'll write you lullabies

Of the deep

And in our dreams

When we can't sleep

We're singing lullabies

From the deep
