Vertical Horizon - Children's Lullaby lyrics

Little girl was down by the waterside
The sun so hot and the roses
So red where she lie
As little boys sit and watch
As she twirls all around
Sunny smiles not a raincloud could
Bring that girl down but now

What's behind those big brown eyes
Do you dream at night without your lullaby

Little boy sit's alone as he
Sings in the dark
Wondering if his own dreams
Had pulled them apart
He sings a song of tomorrow he never can see
Mostly sings of a lost little girl's memory
And Now as his dreams go flashing by
He begins to hear a lonely lullaby

Well now we used to sing
And we used to cry through everything
In our children's lullaby

Little girl on the street with nobody around
Has her head in the air
Dirty feet on the ground
She shuts her eyes and she
Wonders is this a mistake
Now she's gone from the warmth
Of her little boy days and still

She believes that she'll get by
On her own without her little boy's lullaby

Little boy prays to God to answer his song
To hold her hand when
Everyone else's are gone
Time goes by and the wounds
Slowly turn into scars
So he makes his final wish
On the midnight stars and he screams
Little girl won't you hear my cry
Won't you come back home
To your lover's lullaby

Little girl down by the waterside goodbye
