One Last Lullaby
My little black bird waiting for the dawn
Tonight your wings will not carry you home
I am the mocking bird and you've got the ring
But despite how I might I will never teach you to sing
You can take half a pound of whatever you like
In and out of the eagle at night
What will you do when I'm picked to the bone
Don't look for me here baby this ain't nowhere to call home
Hush-a-bye lord knows I've tried
To find that twinkle in your eye
Don't you cry I won't tell you no lies
You've got one last lullaby
Well you can't build it up with your timber and clay
It ain't enough it'll just wash away
You'll be fast asleep when it all goes up in smoke
And I'll be the one with the cup tryna keep us afloat
Hush-a-bye lord knows I've tried
To find that twinkle in your eye
Don't you cry I won't tell you no lies
You've got one last lullaby
Baby what's the use in crying
Baby did you bump your head
Tell me you remember the things that you said
Made me indigo wrapped in a pretty bow
Now that it's over there's one thing I want you to know
Hush-a-bye lord knows I've tried
To find that twinkle in your eye
Don't you cry I won't tell you no lies
You've got one last lullaby
Tonight your wings will not carry you home
I am the mocking bird and you've got the ring
But despite how I might I will never teach you to sing
You can take half a pound of whatever you like
In and out of the eagle at night
What will you do when I'm picked to the bone
Don't look for me here baby this ain't nowhere to call home
Hush-a-bye lord knows I've tried
To find that twinkle in your eye
Don't you cry I won't tell you no lies
You've got one last lullaby
Well you can't build it up with your timber and clay
It ain't enough it'll just wash away
You'll be fast asleep when it all goes up in smoke
And I'll be the one with the cup tryna keep us afloat
Hush-a-bye lord knows I've tried
To find that twinkle in your eye
Don't you cry I won't tell you no lies
You've got one last lullaby
Baby what's the use in crying
Baby did you bump your head
Tell me you remember the things that you said
Made me indigo wrapped in a pretty bow
Now that it's over there's one thing I want you to know
Hush-a-bye lord knows I've tried
To find that twinkle in your eye
Don't you cry I won't tell you no lies
You've got one last lullaby
