Lyrics The Wood Brothers – Heartbreak Lullaby
Text:
Her heart had turned to stone
And was sinkin’ in a sea
Of broken hearted boys
And one of those was me
Pretty as a bird
Fell from paradise
Hear that siren sing
And you would pay the price
She said her goodnight
With a heartbreak lullaby
Heartbreak lullaby
And you’re bound to wake up cryin’
I was not the first
Couldn’t have been the last
Drawn into her flame
Haunted by her past
Tryin’ to catch her fall
Was my first mistake
I’m a sucker for the scent
Of sorrow crossed with grace
She said her goodnight
With a heartbreak lullaby
When you fall asleep
The melody goes on
Into a restless dream
You wake up and she’s gone
