Ray Davies sing me a lullaby
I'll drift off to sleep
Waterloo Sunset's just an alibi
For all the things I can't reach
The reflection slips out the top of the glass
And escapes into the so called real world
She still hasn't texted and I'm twitching
I'd run to her if she only gave the word
My guitar case lies open like a coffin
To lay my dreams in
Quarter past 11 but it feels like the unholy hour
Is about to begin
Ray Davies sing me a lullaby
I'll drift off to sleep
Waterloo Sunset's just an alibi
For all the things I can't reach
The world's upside down so I write on my back
To see if the words come up right way up
But the pen doesn't work
Maybe I don't work
Ray Davies sing me a lullaby
I'll drift off to sleep
Waterloo Sunset's just an alibi
For all the things I can't reach
The light bulb is on
Maybe its not
Maybe I'm just scared
That when I open my eyes
For the final time
The light will be gone
Ray Davies sing me a lullaby
I'll drift off to sleep
Waterloo Sunset's just an alibi
For all the things I can't reach
