Lyrics The Wood Brothers

The Wood Brothers

Heartbreak Lullaby

Her heart had turned to stone

And was sinkin' in a sea

Of broken hearted boys

And one of those was me

Pretty as a bird

Fell from paradise

Hear that siren sing

And you would pay the price

She said her goodnight

With a heartbreak lullaby

Heartbreak lullaby

And you're bound to wake up cryin'

I was not the first

Couldn't have been the last

Drawn into her flame

Haunted by her past

Tryin' to catch her fall

Was my first mistake

I'm a sucker for the scent

Of sorrow crossed with grace

She said her goodnight

With a heartbreak lullaby

When you fall asleep

The melody goes on

Into a restless dream

You wake up and she's gone
