Bitter lullaby

On my way home, eyes on the road, ears on the news
Fifteen past nine, the talk show ends, now it's Monday blues
His guitar weeps, I recognize that raspy key
Resentful notes, a tale of faded harmony

In minor E he burned my veins and pleased the crowd
In major C his truth and sins were now avowed
His voice was flanged, note after note singing regret
A painful song that ever since I can't forget

When you ever wonder
If I still remember
After all those years we've been apart
Yes, my heart surrenders
Whispering every memory
Torn into your bitter lullaby

Riff after riff the old six-string would cry out loud
His fingers bled until it couldn't make a sound
A silent break, Lucille replaced, the bass still grooves
A one-man show, the house is down singing the blues

When you ever wonder
If I still remember
After all those years we've been apart
Yes, my heart surrenders
Whispering every memory
Torn into your bitter lullaby

When you ever wonder
If I still remember
After all those years we've been apart
Yes, my heart surrenders
Whispering every memory
Torn into your bitter lullaby
