well there’s just no lack of love songs in this town
and the storyteller’s always the last to learn
i’m tired of my heart and its unexpected ways of
living a beat behind all the love i find
so i’d rather hear a lullaby tonight
and fold another set of arms around me in my dream
i swear i caught the moon spying on this afternoon
and i still don’t believe in time no no
but i had a message come to find me
and wipe the embers from my eyes
saying i was good, and that surprised me
i may never have known
i would never know
so if you sing to me, make it sweet my friend
the way your sorrow flows, i could catch it fast
bring your best-kept memories, and a secret if you please
show me the map of your mind
and maybe sing for me a lullaby tonight
won’t you sing for me your lullaby tonight
‘cause there’s just no lack of love songs
