Lullaby of London - Live at the Brixton Academy, 2001 Song Lyrics
As I walked down by the riverside One evening in the spring Heard a long-gone song from days gone by Blowing in on the great north wind
Though there is no lonesome corncrake's cry Of sorrow and delight You can hear the cars and the shouts from bars The laughter and the fights
May the ghosts that howled 'round the house at night Never keep you from your sleep May they all sleep tight down in hell tonight Or wherever they may be
So, as I walked on with a heavy heart A stone danced on the tide And the song went on though the lights were gone And the north wind gently sighed
And an evening breeze coming from the east That kissed the riverside So I pray now, child, that you sleep tonight When you hear this lullaby
May the wind that blows from haunted graves Never bring you misery Oh, may the angels bright watch you tonight And keep you while you sleep
