Lyrics

Your rain falls like crazy fingers
Peals of fragile thunder keeping time
Recall the days that still are to come some sing blue
Hang your heart on laughing willow stray
Down to the water, deep sea of love
Beneath the sweet calm face of the sea swift undertow

Life may be sweeter for this, I don't know
See how it feels in the end
May lady lullaby sing plainly for you soft, strong, sweet and true
Cloud hands reaching from a rainbow tapping at the window, touch your hair
So swift and bright strange figures of light float in air

Who can stop what must arrive now? something new is waiting to be born
Dark as the night you're still by my side shine inside
Gone are the days we stopped to decide where we should go, we just ride
Gone are the broken eyes we saw through in dreams gone, both dream and lie

Life may be sweeter for this, I don't know
Feels like it might be all right
While lady lullaby sings plainly through you love still rings true
Midnight on a carrocel ride, reaching for the gold ring down inside
Never could reach it, just slips away but I try
