Goodbye, Lullaby

I'm recording demos of songs I've never released as a way of getting them out into the world.

LYRICS
The boy stood on the burning deck
Whence all but he had fled
And wondered if the flames were only
Rising in his head

The girl stood on the fault line
Whence the ground bucked and quaked
She thought maybe her thinking
Caused the awful shake

Lullabies will see us through a promise of the morning is written in their tune
Lullabies will calm our fear
Sleep until I rise again whenever you appear

Five years ago tonight I learned
That I am not alone
No matter where I take my heart
My heart had found its home

No matter where I take my heart
My heart has found its kin
I paint love letters on my chest
And hope that they sink in

Lullabies will see us through a promise of the morning is written in their tune
Lullabies will calm our fear
Sleep until I rise again whenever you appear

I will stay away
To prove that I have a way to stay

Lullabies will see us through a promise of the morning is written in their tune
Lullabies will calm our fear
Sleep until I rise again whenever you appear

Then we had that talk
Where you told me we were through
All my dedication seemed
Foolish and misconstrued

All my dedication became
Tripped up in my thoughts
It seems that we weren’t strong enough
To pick apart the knot

To pick apart the knot we’d need
Us both to give up both our hands
To look right into the face of all the 
Fear that love demands 

The fear that love demands
It's our choice to let it breathe
I walk away and on the air
Russian tea and burning leaves 

Lullabies will see us through a promise of the morning is written in their tune
Lullabies will calm our fear
Sleep until I rise again whenever you appear

I will stay away
To prove that I have a way to stay

Lullabies will see us through a promise of the morning is written in their tune
Lullabies will calm our fear
Sleep until I rise again whenever you appear

Alone now, with our fears
