Lyrics and Vocal Melody
By Julie Gengo
The cradle rocks desperately
And you break down
While the merry widow sleeps
You break down, break down
You ramble on all alone
But your pockets aren’t sewn
And there ain’t nothing left
You can’t buy your lifeline with it
Or a place called home
(Guitar Break)
How reckless abandonment
That has raped your soul dry
Could still exist
There is no pride
Or a lullaby called home
And you still can’t reach
But your hands are untied
So you can’t complain
And they taught you not to ever speak again
Speak again
The light seems so pale
Reflecting off your skin
As deep as your despair
Penetrating within
And you break down
And you break down
And you break down
And you break down
And there ain’t nothing left
You can’t buy your lifeline
Or a place called home
And you still can’t reach
But your hands are untied
So you can’t complain
And they taught you not to ever speak again
Speak again
Speak again
Speak again
Speak again
Speak, speak again…..
