Put pen to the paper and sign
The lines on both sides of your hand
I can read

What settles out at the bottom
Of a bottle of wine
Are promises, lies

You can choose to believe
When rumours won't leave you alone
Your words cast a shadow

Try to fill in their form
Lay your hat on the table
O, I'll take your side

The mirror allows what the darkness divides
You'll never tell all that you know
In spite of the shelter

The storm will blow
Through the pastures of safety
May you plow the straight line

Walk slow, with a swing in
The river will rise


Pass under my window and wave
Sirens yell at each other
I don't hear your name

Spin hard in a circle
If you want to go down
Sing praises to the neighbour who

Is tending the ground

Rockabye

There'll be a blanket to cover you
When you go down
Rockabye

There'll be a blanket to cover you
When you go down


What you learn from the bottle is true
One is too many and two are too few
Line up the small glasses

O, tell me what you have heard
There's not a thing to laugh about
Tonight in this world

You made me call all over town
You're easy to lose
When you want to be found

I remember a room
Lit by one brilliant light
Throw the windows wide open

We'll sit in the dark tonight

Rockabye

There'll be a blanket to cover you
When you go down
Rockabye

There'll be a blanket to cover you
When you go down


Put pen to the paper and sign
The lines on both sides of your hand
I can read

What settles out at the bottom
Of a bottle of wine
Are promises, lies

You can choose to believe
