Lullaby for E. - Elizaveta Khripounova

If you’d only seen the things I’ve seen

And walked the roads

I walked alone

Maybe you would know why I sing

And why I love

This sad old song

'Cause long ago

And far away

There lived a girl

Who knew nothing

All those years gone by

And hear I am

I sing her song

And wear her name

Dear, please remember

I will always be here for you

Through all the dark and lonely days

To come

When you grow weary

I will sing a song of mercy

Like this sweet lullaby

To carry you home

To carry you home

To carry you…

And if you think

That you can choose

The way this life

Lays out your coat

Think of all those years gone by

And still we sing our songs

Of broken hearts

Dear, please remember

I will always be here for you

All through the dark and lonely days

To come

And when you grow weary

I will sing a song of mercy

Like this sweet lullaby

To carry you home

To carry you home

To carry you home

To carry you…

Home

And kingdoms rise

And then they fall

And cities die

As do we all

But there will always be

There will always be

This sad old song

To touch your heart

And warm your soul
