Hush Now

Feeny Catherine

I won't bury you in the basement 
As I've been known to do 
I won't bludgeon your memory 
Leave you crying out for truth 

There's a song we sing together 
The song of me and you 
And I was hoping that we could fix it 
At least just fiddle around with the tune 

But you go right, I go left 
You go forward, I go back 
And we're dancing this waltz alone 
You go up, I go down, lost our grip 
And now we've found ourselves 
Dancing this waltz alone 

Hush now, don't cry 
It's just a lullaby 
I won't leave you 
Til you close your eyes 
Hush now don't cry 
It's just a lullaby 
I'll tell you sweet lies 
I won't leave your side 

We were peaceful when we were sleeping 
Or after we had a fight 
We were civil when people were watching 
We were worst when we were right 

You'd go in, I'd go out 
We'd forget what it's about 
And we'd start dancing this waltz alone 
You would smile and I'd frown 
You gave it up, now who's the clown 
That is dancing this waltz alone 

Hush now, don't cry 
It's just a lullaby 
I won't leave you 
Til you close your eyes 
Hush now don't cry 
It's just a lullaby 
I'll tell you sweet lies 
I won't leave your side
