Lyrics
Your world falls away as the dawn,
Cuts down your best dreams like corn,
And with its rays tests your empty spaces,
For things you’ll see and wish you weren’t born.
Peace flies away like a bird,
That too many mornings has heard,
Fantasies drown in the rush of the town,
To have the first and final word.
Lay down, lullaby,
Hey now, darlin’ don’t cry,
Lay down, lullaby,
Don’t cry.
A man with as many wishes as eyes,
Is richer than this one by twice,
‘Cause wishes they swing for the fences to come to their senses,
When their welcome is as warm as ice.
(Chorus)
Your world falls away as the dawn,
Cuts down your best dreams like corn,
And with its rays tests your empty spaces,
For things you’ll see and wish you weren’t born.
