"T-Bone" Burnett
Late Morning Lullaby
[Verse]
As soon as my eyes shut the slide show begins
Yesterday is gone now and panic sets in
With a weight upon my chest and a ghost upon my back
And the numbing sensation of everything I lack that leaves me
Dreaming, dreaming, dreaming
Your real world away

[Chorus]
And beautiful, beautiful bright eyes lie
Only beautiful, o beautiful bright eyes cry
Singing late morning lullaby

[Verse]
The first sign of morning is gray and alarming
It's so disappointing the day has come so soon
While the rest of the world greets the day and feels new
I will push it away just like I always do, I will be
Dreaming, dreaming, dreaming
Your real world away

[Chorus]
And beautiful, o beautiful bright eyes lie
Only beautiful, o beautiful bright eyes cry
Singing late morning lullaby
Late morning lullaby
[Outro]
I would darken my window so I can fall asleep
While the critics frown down on the hours I keep that leave me
Dreaming, dreaming, dreaming
Your real world away
