lullaby of manhattan - susan mckeown lyrics

Loading...

under the floorboards of this apartment
lies the shards of bone you threw
they lie there undiscovered
until the next handyman breaks through

they will never know it’s breaking haley and me and you
they might be able to put it back together
god knows that’s what i tried to do

ah, ah
it’s a lullaby of manhattan
ah, ah
it’s the sweetest song you will hear
these are the moments slowly fussing in the night
the sound of the refrigerator and the world outsidе

the nails i have [?]
how my head was full of you
thе mouth that kissed you and the hands that held you
even as the revolutions deepened and sped
there was some kind of fixing that was inside my head
the wall unhinged around me, i was the center of the universe
i resisted as the fixit star in the celestial crest

ah, ah
it’s a lullaby of manhattan
ah, ah
it’s the sweetest song you will hear
here are the bricks that you exposed
here is the bed where i layed out your clothes
here’s the little bed where there was the tv
she won’t sleep an inch but where you used to be

and i wonder where i put my anger
and why i couldn’t feel a thing
and why that you would hold such power
and why i, i couldn’t make it sing

ah, ah
it’s a lullaby of manhattan
ah, ah
it’s the sweetest song you will hear
ah, ah
it’s a lullaby of manhattan
ah, ah
it’s the sweetest song you’ll hear
