lyrics

The cries of a child in the night

Cling to your hallway and door

The silence that follows

Chills you right down the core



We walk a thread so thin

And but for a gust of wind

There’s really nobody who you could save

Get up my poor boy, be brave



If fortune’s a virtue

Then she is a curious one

And he is a fool who

Tries too tight to hang on



We walk a thread so thin

And but for a gust of wind

There was really nobody you could save from the slide

Saddle up, my brave boy, and ride



Rock-a-bye baby

Sweet dreams await thee

When the wind blows

Nobody knows



We walk a thread so thin

And but for a gust of wind

I love you my baby, my sugar, my heart

Banish the day we would part



It’s once in a pale blue moon

The winds howl into your room

There was never anybody you could save from the fall

Get up my poor boy, and crawl
