Untitled Lullaby

Until you sleep
And your fingers are finally still
I?m going to stay awake
All night
Children don?t weep
All will be quiet in time
An overcoat of prayers
And lullabys
La - la
So far acclined
So hard to learn
La - la
It?s a dime for a tin whistle
And a cigarrette
God damn if you listened
But what else do you give
La - la
So far acclined
So hard to learn
Until you sleep
And your fingers are finally still
I?m bound to stay awake
All night
