Lyrics Electric Light Orchestra

Electric Light Orchestra

Lonesome Lullaby

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
