Outskirt Lullabies

Green field, dead end And the railroad line Church bells ringing Call their people at a quarter to five Old park, backyard Is where we met and made the fire start in this Outskirt Lullaby Outskirt Lullaby Sunday, sports’ day Football match against the neighbours’ sons Hanging around In the church rooms ’til the night went by Wond’ring where we will Live our lives and sing in perfect tune this Outskirt Lullaby Outskirt Lullaby You stopped singin’ far too soon And I left without a tear Our bodies grown and groomed With the loneliness, with the lonely tears Take me tonight where I don’t need to hide Caress me and care for me and hold me tight Sing this song and never say goodbye in this Outskirt Lullaby Lullaby of mine Outskirt Lullaby Lullaby of mine
