Robert Wyatt - Lullaby For Hamza Lyrics

When bombers bomb again,
I need your lullaby.
Fires are burning.
The nightmare's begun.

The world is dark again,
I need your lullaby.
Sleep has gone.
Night is long again.
Sing me your song.
Let me sleep.
Bring me peace.

When bombers bomb again,
we'll need your lullaby.
Children cry.
Houses burn again.
Once more.
Sing songs to soothe them,
to dry their tears,
to drown the screams of war.

The world's gone wrong again,
I need your lullaby.
Night is long.
and sleep's just a dream.
Sing your song,
stay close to me.
Sing to me.
Hushabye.

The world is dark again,
I need your lullaby.
Sleep has gone.
night is much too long again.
Sing me your song,
let me sleep.
Bring me peace.
