Lonesome Lullaby Lyrics - Electric Light Orchestra

I listened to the whine for way too long 

Time for me to hear a different song 

I waited overtime for things to turn around 

Tired of waiting for it all to hit the ground 

You said you knew all about it 

What was right and what was wrong 

You pulled the wool over the eyes of everyone 

Maybe I was weak when I should've been strong 

Cry, baby, cry 

Tell me 'bout your lonesome lullaby 

Cry, baby, cry 

Tell me 'bout your lonesome lullaby 

You took me by surprise and like a shot in the dark, shot in the dark 

You showed yourself in your truest light, truest light 

You saved yourself by saving nobody else 

You must have cringed when you heard them tell 

Cry, baby, cry 

Tell me 'bout your lonesome lullaby 

Cry, baby, cry 

Tell me 'bout your lonesome lullaby 

You took the wrong turn at the city of dreams, city of dreams 

You ended up back where you came from it seems, came from it seems 

Back there to where there's nothing else to do 

Back there where you can sit and think of only you 

Cry, baby, cry 

Tell me 'bout your lonesome lullaby 

Cry, baby, cry 

Tell me 'bout your lonesome lullaby 

Cry 

Tell me 'bout your lonesome lullaby 

Cry 

Tell me 'bout your lonesome lullaby 

Your lonesome lullaby
