Lullabye

Ben Folds Five

Goodnight, goodnight sweet baby 
the world has more for you 
than it seems 
goodnight, goodnight 
let the moonlight take the lid off your dreams 

we took a small flight 
in the middle of the night 
from one tiny place to another 
and my parents they remained 
at the shack with lorraine 
and my aunt and my grandpa and brother 
we walked past the tarmac 
and boarded the craft 
the rain had me chilled to the bones 
just the three of us took flight that night, 
uncle richard, me and james earl jones 

and the pilot he gave me a blanket 
while the tall dark man sang to me in deep rich tones... 

goodnight, goodnight sweet baby 
the world has more for you 
than it seems 
goodnight, goodnight 
let the moonlight take the lid off your dreams
