One More Lullaby

Only dogs are out on the streets
See there’s no-one else here but me
All the bars are closed, so I’ll follow my nose
To the hotel I’m still calling home

Where the man on the night desk is a friend
To ev’ry broken heart on the mend
Still he looks so tired ev’ry time I enquire
Is there a message for me from a friend?

So I’ll sing for you
One more lullaby
I’ll sing for you, that crazy old song
Yes I’ll sing for you one more lullaby
Though it always came out wrong

It’s a long, long road to your door
And I wonder who sleeps on your floor now
Hell I’d come straight home
And I’d promise to roam no more
