I remember tears streaming down your face
When I said, "I'll never let you go"
When all those shadows almost killed your light
I remember you said, "Don't leave me here alone"
But all that's dead and gone and passed tonight
Just close your eyes
The sun is going down
You'll be all right
No one can hurt you now
Come morning light
You and I'll be safe and sound
Don't you dare look out your window, darling
Everything's on fire
The war outside our door keeps raging on
Hold on to this lullaby
Even when the* music's gone
Gone
Just close your eyes
The sun is going down
You'll be all right
No one can hurt you now
Come morning light
You and I'll be safe and sound
Just close your eyes
You'll be all right
Come morning light
You and I'll be safe and sound
*a very quick and silent "the"
