Ma' all my bones are shaking
Ma' all my bones are breaking
I'm curling up my toes
I'm singing cannonballs
The levee broke in my arms
A shadow flew to the stars
Saying goodbye to the waters
Singing goodnight to her daughters
And all my friends are turning green
As I'm singing my lullaby
Don't let it go
Don't let it go
Don't let it drown
Oh my love
Stop burning away
Ma' all my words are shaking
And cannonballs are breaking
I'm building all these walls but
There's nothing in these halls and
The heavy load we carried
And all the falls we parried
Ivory towers burning high
The night it slumbers coming nigh
And all my friends are turning green
As I'm singing my lullaby
Don't let it go
Don't let it go
Don't let it drown
Oh my love
Stop burning away
