Lullabye
Mackey Feary Band Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Is it still so warm?
Does the city lights out a raging storm
Do you think of me when your all alone?
Do you hear me?
Can you feel me?
Missed you more and more
Do the curtains fly on the breath of our love
And if i should come down in the palm of your hand
Will you hide me?
Come and guide me
Do your lullaby laugh
Ohhh now my heart has wings
And my heart just sings
Silently filling me
It's killing me
Yeah it's killing me
It's killing me
You're not leaving me girl
Is it more than you need
All the love that you've earned
After all you've been through
I would have think you have learned
Are you hurting now?
Won't you rest in my arms
I will love you
I will need you
And i what do you owe
Ohhh now my heart has wings
And my heart just sings
Silently filling me
It's killing me
Yeah it's killing me
It's killing me
You're not leaving me girl
