I wish I could
Make sense of it all for you lately
All these lessons of lifetimes
Moving faster than I can
And somehow you know
That there is nothing I'll show you
You can't learn on the 80
But in the battles of bedtime
Lay your head down in my hand
All I have is a lullaby
When you wake in the evening sun
Mama's gone and you don't know why
Much is unknown oh little one
She'll be back darling don't you cry
She comes home when the day is done
Feels like everyone's passing by
Feels like every old songs been sung
And on every stroll
You stop at every leaf on the ground
Every feather
Until mount royal's your cradle
Shade, your blanket of sleep in the afternoon
It's like you know that everything I see you can dream better
So tell your shadows I'm grateful
Thank your darkness for me
Where the light shines through
All I have is a lullaby
When you wake in the evening sun
Mama's gone and you don't know why
Much is unknown oh little one
She'll be back darling don't you cry
She comes home when the day is done
Feels like everyone's passing by
Feels like every old songs been sung
Yes I'll leave you this lullaby
Cause I leave in the evening sun
When I'm gone baby don't ask why
Much is unknown oh little one
I'll be back darling don't you cry
I'll be home when the summer has come
Somehow too much and never enough time
Every old song's been sung
