Текст песни Tom Waits - Midnight Lullaby

...MIDNIGHT LULLABY... by Tom Waits

*from 'Closing Time' (1973)*

*CAPO 1st FRET*

(Original Key: )

,  (x4)

 Sing a song of sixpence, pocket full of rye,
 Hush-a bye, my baby; no need to be crying.

Bridge 1:

 You can burn the midnight oil with me, as long as you will.
                                +      ()
 Stare out at the moon upon the window-sill and dream...

 Sing a song of sixpence, pocket full of rye,
 Hush-a bye, my baby; no need to be crying.

Bridge 2:

There's dew drops on the window-sill, gumdrops in your head.
                                        +      ()
 Slipping into dream land; you're nodding your head, so dream...

Solo:

,  (x4)

  ,   ,   ,   +

,  (x2)

 Dream of West Vir-ginia, or of the British Isles.
 'Cos when you are dreaming, you see for miles and miles.

Bridge 3:

 When you are much older, re-member when we sat.
At midnight on the window-sill and had this little chat...

Coda:

And dream...
Come on and dream,
Come on and dream.
And dream...
And dream...
Come on and dream.

  ,    (x3),
