Lyrics The Pretenders

The Pretenders

Thumbelina

Hush little baby, don't you cry

When we get to Tucson you'll see why

We left the snowstorms and the thunder and rain

For the desert sun, we're gonna be born again

What's important in this world

A little boy, a little girl

Hush little darling, go to sleep

Look out the window and count the sheep

That dot the hillsides and the fields of wheat

Across America as we cross America

What's important here today

The broken line on the highway

All the love in the world for you, girl

Thumbelina in a great big scary world

All the love in the world for you, girl

Take my hand and we'll make it through this world

Hush little baby, my poor little thing

You've been shuffled about like a pawned wedding ring

It must seem strange, love was here then gone

And the Oklahoma sunrise becomes the Amarillo dawn

What's important in this life

Ask the man who's lost his wife
