Whisky Lullabies Lyrics - Running With Scissors - Janet Devlin

When I was a child 

they'd ask me where it hurt 

and wipe the tears from my eyes 

Sure embraces, 

gentle forehead kisses 

making sure that I was alright 

As I grew older and the nights grew shorter 

I no longer cared where it hurt 

All I hear is, Whisky Lullabies 

there to cradle me to sleep 

All I hear is, Whisky Lullabies 

there to cradle me to sleep 

Scars they heal in time 

the raw wounds on my mind 

they aren't as easily fixed 

You can't mend what isn't broken 

Kind words are rarely spoken 

in time I will learn this 

But I grow older 

and the nights grow shorter 

drowning as I sink or swim 

All I hear is, Whisky Lullabies 

there to cradle me to sleep 

All I hear is, Whisky Lullabies 

there to cradle me to sleep 

Sticks and stones they break me to the bone 

Words they cut they will always hurt me 

Please be my saving Grace 

Please be my saving Grace 

How to answer all my prayers 

Please be my saving Grace 

All I hear is, Whisky Lullabies 

there to cradle me to sleep 

and all I hear is, Whisky Lullabies 

there to cradle me to sleep 

Sticks and stones they break me to the bone 

Words they cut, they will always hurt me 

Sticks and stones they break me to the bone 

Words they cut, they will always hurt me
