Cradle - Doe

We were better on the first time

Love was simple as a mother and a baby child

Then you rocked our cradle and we fell in love

Oh, laying wide awake

Tell me how could I forget all the words to a lullaby

We’ve fallen, fallen in love

Oh, no, I try everything to reach you

Send you out but you would only read through

A picture book with no words

A bedtime story I’m pretending

Left me with a happy ending

The sheep I count come in herds

When I’m gone, I creep, but you gossip in your sleep

So I’ll know all the secrets you keep under the sheets

We were better on the first time

Love was simple as a mother and a baby child

Then you rocked our cradle and we fell in love

Oh, laying wide awake

Tell me how could I forget all the words to a lullaby

We’ve fallen, fallen in love

So please don’t let me fall asleep

These childish dreams only make me weaker

So please do something, wake me, make a sound

I’m scared I won’t wake up before I hit the ground

We were better on the first time

Love was simple as a mother and a baby child

Then you rocked our cradle and we fell in love

Oh, laying wide awake

Tell me how could I forget all the words to a lullaby

We’ve fallen, fallen in love

We’ve fallen, fallen in love
