Midnight Lullaby Lyrics

...MIDNIGHT LULLABY... by Tom Waits
*from 'Closing Time' (1973)*
*CAPO 1st FRET*
(Original Key: G#)
Intro:
Verse 1:
Sing a song of sixpence, pocket full of rye,
Hush-a bye, my baby; no need to be crying.
Bridge 1:
You can burn the midnight oil with me, as long as you will.
Stare out at the moon upon the window-sill and dream...
Verse 2:
Sing a song of sixpence, pocket full of rye,
Hush-a bye, my baby; no need to be crying.
Bridge 2:
There's dew drops on the window-sill, gumdrops in your head.
Slipping into dream land; you're nodding your head, so dream...
Solo:
Verse 3:
Dream of West Vir-ginia, or of the British Isles.
'Cos when you are dreaming, you see for miles and miles.
Bridge 3:
When you are much older, re-member when we sat.
At midnight on the window-sill and had this little chat...
Coda:
And dream...
Come on and dream,
Come on and dream.
And dream...
And dream...
Come on and dream.
