Balaliaka Lyrics

Balaliaka lyrics

When the moon opens up her eye 



And the sun bows down his head 



You come stealing softly to my bed 



When the dogs chase rabbit dreams 



Cats are milking up the fire 



You dance toward me 



Balanced on a slender wire 



Balaliaka sing to me 



Like a siren from the deep 



Balaliaka sing a tender song 



Balaliaka soothe my soul 



Like you did so long ago 



How I miss your sorrow 



And your smile 



 



Now the trees are whispering 



As I lie here in the grass 



Waiting for this long cold night to pass 



A thousand eyes are gazing down 



Like bullet holes shot into the roof 



As I lie here scratching 



For a grain or truth 



 



Balaliaka sing to me 



Like a siren from the deep 



Balaliaka sing a tender song 



Balaliaka soothe my soul 



Like you did so long ago 



How I miss your sorrow 



And your smile 



 



Balaliaka sing to me 



Like a siren from the deep 



Balaliaka sing a tender song 



Balaliaka soothe my soul 



Like you did so long ago 



Drink with me before I have to go 



Before I have to go
