Electric Light Orchestra Lonesome Lullaby Lyrics

Lonesome Lullaby Lyrics

I listened to the whine for way too long
 Time for me to hear a different song
 I waited overtime for things to turn around
 Tired of waiting for it all to hit the ground
 
 You said you knew all about it
 What was right and what was wrong
 You pulled the wool over the eyes of everyone
 Maybe I was weak when I should`ve been strong
 
  Cry, baby, cry
  Tell me `bout your lonesome lullaby
  Cry, baby, cry
  Tell me `bout your lonesome lullaby
 
 You took me by surprise and like a shot in the dark, shot in the dark
 You showed yourself in your truest light, truest light
 You saved yourself by saving nobody else
 You must have cringed when you heard them tell
 
  Cry, baby, cry
  Tell me `bout your lonesome lullaby
  Cry, baby, cry
  Tell me `bout your lonesome lullaby
 
 You took the wrong turn at the city of dreams, city of dreams
 You ended up back where you came from it seems, came from it seems
 Back there to where there`s nothing else to do
 Back there where you can sit and think of only you
 
  Cry, baby, cry
  Tell me `bout your lonesome lullaby
  Cry, baby, cry
  Tell me `bout your lonesome lullaby
 
  Cry
  Tell me `bout your lonesome lullaby
  Cry
  Tell me `bout your lonesome lullaby
 
  Your lonesome lullaby
