Heartbreak Lullaby

from Paradise by The Wood Brothers

/

lyrics

her heart had turned to stone
and was sinkin' in a sea
of broken hearted boys
and one of those was me

pretty as a bird
fell from paradise
hear that siren sing
and you would pay the price
she said her goodnight
with a heartbreak lullaby

heartbreak lullaby
and you're bound to wake up cryin'

i was not the first
couldn't have been the last
drawn into her flame
haunted by her past

tryin to catch her fall
was my first mistake
i'm a sucker for the scent
of sorrow crossed with grace
she said her goodnight
with a heartbreak lullaby

CHORUS

when you fall asleep
the melody goes on
into a restless dream
you wake up and she's gone
