Well I'm singing a lullaby
Under a streetlight
I am
Blinded by your kindness
Hey Maria
Let me be nice to ya
I don't need you to notice
Hey hey hey
I don't need you to notice
Me
Well I wither without her
Where I lay
There's a baby that's cryin
And a mother that prays
I don't need you to notice
Hey hey hey
I don't need you to notice
Me
Last night there was a fire
I didn't' know her so well
She got caught up in the smoke
She never made it out
I don't need you to notice
Hey hey hey
I don't need you to notice
And neither did May
And ol' May
Well that's a hell of a way to go
My friend
And I will hold you
Until the end of it
We will cross that street
To a river I want to show ya
And it runs so deep
Just like that river that runs inside of ya
And I know you've been thirsty
I know you've been
And I know you've been lonely
I know you've been
And I know you been bursting
With everything inside
Well you can let it out slowly
And you are right on time
And I am right on time
Like a river inside
There's a river outside
