Lovesick Lullaby
I heard the words you said
When were drifting off to bed
When you told me you were in search
Of some kind of heaven

I'm aware this world is rough
All those politicians just bluff
While the mommies prepare their babes
For Armageddon

And I would not say I'm wise
I've just seen with my two eyes
Stronger swimmers than you
Drowning in Heineken

So may your love shine through
Every single thing you do
May you try and touch the stars
And fail and find that what makes them shine
Is what makes you what you are
And what you are is a dim but steady light

What you are, it just calms me down at night

What you are is a lovesick lullaby

Have you listened to the postmodern blues?
They play it daily on the 24 hour news
I think it sounds quite a bit like
Self-righteous indignation

And I cannot think of one thing
Beyond celebrity-gossip magazines
And a sense of unending hunger
That unites this nation

But when I remember the cracks in your skin
And that steady gaze when you truly listen
It reminds me that the pains in my bones are
The seeds of salvation

So, may our love shine through
Every single thing we do
May we try and steal the stars
And fail and find that what makes them shine
Is what makes us what are
And what we are is our only source of light

What we are, it just rings on through the night

What we are is a lovesick lullaby
