Lullaby Of London Lyrics

Lullaby Of London lyrics

As I walked down by the riverside

One evening in the spring

Heard a long gone song from days gone by

Blown in on the great north wind



Though there is no lonesome corncrake's cry

Of sorrow and delight

You can hear the cars and the shouts from bars

And the laughter and the fights



May the ghosts that howled round the house at night

Never keep you from your sleep

May they all sleep tight down in hell tonight

Or wherever they may be



As I walked on with a heavy heart

Then a stone danced on the tide

And the song went on though the lights were gone

And the north wind gently sighed



And an evening breeze coming from the east

That kissed the riverside

So I pray now child that you sleep tonight

When you hear this lullaby



Well the wind that blows from haunted graves

Never bring you misery

May the angels bright watch you tonight

And keep you while you sleep
