I won't bury you in the basement,
as i've been known to do.
I won't bludgeon your memory,
leave you crying out for truth.
'Cause there's a song we sing together,
a song of me and you.
I was hoping we could fix it,
or at least just fiddle around with the tune.
Cause you go right, I go left.
You forward, I go back.
And we're dancing this walt alone.
You go up and I go down.
Lost our grip and now we've found ourselves,
dancing this waltz alone.
Hush now don't cry.
it's just a lullaby.
I won't leave you, til you close your eyes.
Hush now don't cry,
it's just a lullaby.
I'll tell you sweet lies.
I won't leave your side.
We were peaceful when we were sleeping,
or after we had a fight.
We were civil when people were watching,
and we were worst when we were right.
'Cause you'd go in, and I'd go out,
and we'd forget what it's about.
Dancing this waltz alone.
You would smile and I'd frown.
You gave it up, now who's the clown?
Dancing this waltz alone.
Hush now don't cry.
it's just a lullaby.
I won't leave you, til you close your eyes.
Hush now don't cry,
it's just a lullaby.
I'll tell you sweet lies.
I won't leave your side.
