Late Morning Lullaby Songtext
von Shovels & Rope

As soon as my eyes shut, the slide show begins
Yesterday is gone, the panic sets in
With a weight upon my chest
And a ghost upon my back
And the numbing sensation
Of everything I lack
That leaves me dreaming
Dreaming, dreaming, oh
Your real world away

And beautiful, beautiful bright eyes lie
Only beautiful, beautiful bright eyes cry
Singing late morning lullaby


The first sign of morning is gray and alarming
It′s so disappointing that the day comes so soon
While the rest of the world greets the day and feels new
I will push it away just like I always do
I will be dreaming
Dreaming, dreaming, oh
Your real world away

And beautiful, beautiful bright eyes lie
Only beautiful, beautiful bright eyes cry
Singing late morning lullaby
Late morning lullaby

I would darken my window so I can fall asleep
While the critics frown down on the hours
That I keep that leave me dreaming
Dreaming, dreaming, oh
Your real world away
