lullaby from baby to baby - elizabeth swados lyrics

Loading...

melinda:
the sun is rising in the smoky sky
the place is any city you can name
in a house, a door opens and closes “goodbye”
the atmosphere won’t be the same because (because)

baby’s running from mama (mama)
baby is a runaway (runaway)
tomorrow will be a different world
than the way it was today

out on the new jersey turnpike road (ooh)
a hitchhiker lifts a cardboard sign (ooh)
in magic marker it says: “anywhere” (ooh)
“but where i left will be just fine” because (because)

a prisoner’s got to run from troublе (trouble)
a prisoner is a runaway (runaway)
tomorrow will be a diffеrent world
than the way it was today

ensemble:
a man and a lincoln continental
a lawyer with a wife and kids

melinda:
takes a plane to reno, doesn’t turn around
ensemble:
and doesn’t care what he did because (because)

melinda:
a daddy’s got to run from mama (mama)
a daddy is a runaway (runaway)
tomorrow will be a different world
than the way it was today

deidre:
a woman gets a job in new york city (gotta get away, gotta get away now!)
forgets she was a mother and a wife (gotta get away, gotta get away now!)

melinda:
finds herself a nice apartment and makes up for the last*

melinda & deidre:
thirty*five years of her life because (because)

melinda:
a mama’s got to run from daddy
a mama’s got to run from child
tomorrow will be a different world
lonelier and wild

ensemble:
ah ah, ee ee, ah ah, ee ee!
ah ah, ee ee, ah ah, ee ee!
melinda:
thousands of cars go buzzing to and fro
airplanes and trains go shooting by
everybody goes from a to b
and n0body does know why because (because)

the world is full of people runnin’ (runnin’)
the world is full of runaways (runaways)
tomorrow you’ll be a different child
than the one you are today

ensemble:
ah ah, ee ee, ah ah, ee ee!
ah ah, ee ee, ah ah, ee ee!
