Please don't cry for the ghost and the storm outside
Will not invade this sacred shrine or infiltrate your mind
My life down I shall lie if the bogeyman should try
To play tricks on your sacred mind, to teeth torment and tantalize
Withering shadows loom, a piano plays in an empty room
There'll be blood on the cleaver tonight
And when darkness slips and the room is bright, I'll still be by your side
For you are all that matters [F#m] and [A] I'll love you till the day I die
There'll [F#m] never be need [D] [A] belonging in your eyes
As long as the hand that rocks the cradle is mine
Sealing shadows shimmy by
And when the wardrobe towers like a beast of prey
The sadness in your beautiful eyes
Oh, your untouched, unsold, wondrous eyes
My life down I shall lie should a restless spirit strive
To play tricks on your sacred mind
I once had a child and it saved my life and I never even asked his name
I just looked into his wondrous eyes and said never, never, never again
And all too soon I did return just like a moth to a flame
So rattle my bones all over the stones
I'm only a beggar man who nobody owns
Oh, see how work has all dead-sinned
Fit me like a glove
I'm here and here I'll stay
Together we lie, together we pray
There'll never be [D] need [A] belonging in your eyes
As long as the hand that rocks the cradle is mine
As long as the hand that rocks the cradle is mine
Climb upon my knee, sunny boy
Although you're only three, sunny boy
Oh, you're my hey
And you're the she just never knew
Oh, you're my as, as long
As long as, as long
I did my best for her
I did my best for her
As long as, as long
As long as, as long
I did my best for her
I did my best for her
