Tom Waits - Lullaby Lyrics
Sun is red; moon is cracked
Daddy's never coming back
Nothing's ever yours to keep
Close your eyes, go to sleep
If I die before you wake
Nothing's ever as it seems
Climb the ladder to your dreams
If I die before you wake
Don't you cry; don't you weep
Nothing's ever yours to keep
Close your eyes; go to sleep

Tom Waits Lullaby Comments
I actually fell asleep to this once.
Sun is red; moon is cracked
Daddy's never coming back
Nothing's ever yours to keep
Close your eyes, go to sleep
If I die before you wake
Don't you cry don't you weep
Nothing's ever as it seems
Climb the ladder to your dreams
If I die before you wake
Don't you cry; don't you weep
Nothing's ever yours to keep
Close your eyes; go to sleep
'Don't you cry, don't you weep', dice. Será cabrón...
I have listened to this song roughly 50,000 times. Obviously not on YouTube though, I have a CD.
I often listen to the entire "Blood Diamond" album to get the feeling of how the songs sound like in context. Hearing that slightly scary instrumental song "Knife Chase" right before calming yourself down with this song is very relieving, which also makes you prepared for the next song "Starving in the belly of a whale".
MAGNIFIQUE

Yeah I´m goin´... maybe find the ladder...
Sun is red; moon is cracked
Daddy's never coming back
Nothing's ever yours to keep
Close your eyes, go to sleep
If I die before you wake
Don't you cry, don't you weep
Nothing's ever as it seems
Climb the ladder to you dreams
If I die before you wake
Don't you cry, don't you weep
Nothing's ever yours to keep
Close your eyes; go to sleep

Still loving this song.
Quiza un dia no sepa de ti , mientras <3
I sang this for my girl when she was a baby, now she´s affraid off Tom ???
Well, he is kinda scary looking -- just like Santa Claus. :-P
Maybe your voice is shit, your face is donkeyish, or you just generally suck ass. It's not Tom's fault. Don't blame genius, bud.
He is my housegod. Google humor:)and wipe your nose
"go to sleep"...
It's Jeff... O_O
Rose , you are still here.....?
Edgy creepypasta tween, glad we cleansed all of them
Wonderful. I don't know what relevance the following statement has with this song but I have to declare it: I love her :D

One of the most beautiful lullaby I know <3!
Sad and beautiful at the same time...
