One Niner West - Gunpowder Lyrics

Gun powder smelling, right next door, There's lots of yelling, same as before
But their time is comin' a few hours from now She'll start her singing low. He'll hear her somehow.

She'll sing Hush little baby, don't say a word. Mama gonna' buy you a mockingbird
She'll sing Rock-a-byes to the smell of gun powder
She'll sing Rock-a-byes to the smell of gun powder

She says "your best days, are yet to come. You're gonna be a fine man my son
I know it's hard, hard for you to see. But you just listen close, listen to me

But my.... How the time flies. How the time flies
That was so, so, long ago. So much has changed you know.
But sometimes...in the still of the night
I hear you clear, yeah, it's like a light

You'd sing Hush little baby don't say a word Mama gonna' buy you a mockingbird
You'd sing Rock-a-byes, and there's the smell of gun powder
You'd sing Rock-a-byes, and there's the smell of gun powder
She'd sing "hush hush baby, don't you cry

I hear Rock-a-byes when I smell gun powder

You'd sing Rock-a-byes to the smell of gun powder
You'd sing Rock-a-byes to the smell of gun powder
Rock-a-byes
The smell of Gun Powder
