Blues Lullaby
05:07

I see you've been crying again. Oh, you don't need tears to show me how you're looking for that smile you smiled so many years ago.
I see you've been sighing again, but don't worry, lady, 'cause the smile that you've been looking for is smiling on and on and on and on inside you.
That was a lonely lullaby I heard you singing.
And even if you can't find the sun inside you
And even if you can't touch the sky,
Life'll come walking through your endless dreams like a forgotten lullaby.
That was a lonely lullaby I heard you singing.
And even if you've got that pain in your belly,
And if you're feel you're living a lie,
Life'll come walking through your endless dreams like a forgotten lullaby.

McCarthy's Bayou
04:36

I've been watching from the shadows on Western Avenue,
waiting for a sign, trying to pull together all I thought was mine,
picking up the pieces from the static on the radio,
killing the time, telling myself that everything is fine,
re-building all the shrines on McCarthy's Bayou.
I try to talk to Sharon, but she never makes reply.
sits there in the old rocking chair with the white dust in her eyes,
crying for the children. Oh, it was all for the children we never really knew!
those uptight, eyes right, no fight white kids digging up the bodies along McCarthy's Bayou.
Call out the neighbours! Bring out the spy-glasses!
Bring out the government directives and burn them on the floor!
Bring out your bibles! bring out the prayer-books!
Bring out the flags of submission and nail them to your door!
for the Eagle is getting higher with every singe day.
Well, I turned to the truths my father said and suddenly found them gone
and found a killer in the mirror where I once had seen a son
and I remembered the words of Jesus Christ as he passed on that Winter's day
with a candle in his pocket and an old sawn-off shotgun.
He said, "Bring out the leaders! Bring out the cheaters!
Bring out your half-baked ideals and burn them on the floor!
Burn down the homesteads! Bring down the easy-life dead-heads!
If he's your only brother then turn him from your door
for your dreams keep flying higher, but still you never learn
that it's your fears burn."

Now the Earth is Sleeping,
Out from the East, there's a new song rising.
More than any dream that ever could come true, Life still burns in you.
NOw the music's dying,
Out from the east, there's a new song flying,
More than any dream that ever could come true, Life still sings in you.
