Children's Lullaby Lyrics - There And Back Again - Vertical Horizon

Little girl was down by the waterside 

The sun so hot and the roses so red where she lie 

As little boys sit and watch as she twirls all around 

Sunny smiles not a raincloud could bring that girl down 

But now... 

What's behind those big brown eyes 

Do you dream at night 

Without your lullaby 

Little boy sits alone as he sings in the dark 

Wondering if his own dreams had pulled them apart 

He sings a song of tomorrow he never can see 

Mostly sings of a lost little girl's memory 

And Now...

As his dreams go flashing by 

He begins to hear 

A lonely lullaby 

Well now 

We used to sing 

And we used to cry 

Through everything 

In our children's lullaby 

Little girl on the street with nobody around 

Has her head in the air dirty feet on the ground 

She shuts her eyes and she wonders is this a mistake 

Now she's gone from the warmth of her little boy days 

And still... 

She believes that she'll get by 

On her own without 

Her little boy's lullaby

Little boy prays to God to answer his song 

To hold her hand when everyone else's are gone 

Time goes by and the wounds slowly turn into scars 

So he makes his final wish on the midnight stars 

And he screams... 

Little girl won't you hear my cry 

Won't you come back home 

To your lover's lullaby 

Little girl down by the waterside 

Goodbye
