Lullaby

(album: To Live And Die In L.A. - 1985)

Let's go out tonight
Put on your shoes
Get away from here
Far from the local blues
Let's go out tonight
Let's make our escape
From the city lights
And all the familiar shapes
We can drive all night
We can stop in a field
Hear the starlight
Traveling for millions of years

Sing a lullaby to the night [repeat]

We can rock and roll
We can dance all night long
To the stars above
And we won't be strong
We can walk away
To the rising dawn
As people go to work
Wondering why our clothes are torn

Sing a lullaby to the night [repeat]

We'll be driving through the mountains
In the cool and clearing air
With the sunlight on the ocean
And the diamonds in your hair
And as you're falling asleep
I will sing you a lullaby

Sing your lullaby [repeat]

We can find a place
For the sun and the rain
We can live a life
Like a hurricane
On a mountain top
Or right by the sea
As long as we're together
It don't matter to me
Let's go out tonight
Let's escape

Sing your lullaby [repeat]

As the perfumes of the evening
Mingle sweetly with the night
We'll lay ourselves down
In the light of the moon
And we'll hold each other tight
And as you're falling asleep
I will sing you a lullaby
