Time isn't making it better
Hasn't sweetened the fruit
Isn't making me well
I should've known when I left her
Lying helpless and mute
That we'd broken the spell
And now there's a veil on the sun
There's a crack in the cosmos
There's nowhere left to run
Now when I wake in the night
There's nobody to call
To make it alright
Once she was dancing to Colyer
And Route 66
At the Station Hotel
Once she was running for cover
As the rain hit the bridge
With a smile like Moreau's
But now there's a veil on her eyes
There's a crack in her conscience
There's nowhere left to hide
Now when she bows to the night
The song that I'm singing's
A blue lullaby"
