Everybody's got a different story
Everybody wanna give
their selves away

But I'm still afraid
If we can stay out of
their field of vision

If we can keep ourselves a
half a world away
Ah honey we'll be ok


[Chorus]
The world can be so cruel

But I will sing for you
This cradle song
All night long


Everybody's got their own opinion
Everybody's got a place

were they belong
Like a favorite song
I don't want to be a faded memory

I don't want to be the ghost
that you can't shake
I want to be the real thing


[Chorus]


Yeah all night long
yeah all night long
oh, oh, oh


No one said we were victims honey
No one said we had to keep

the things we get
And there ain't no regrets
And all our friends, they

moved to Hollywood
But we ain't that
desperate yet, oh no

ain't nothing like the real thing

The world can be so cruel

And let me sing for you
This cradle song
All night long


[Chorus]


This cradle song [x2]

Yeah all night long

Sing it all night long [x2]

Yeah, yeah

All night long
