"tommy's lullaby" lyrics

Now now, down by the water where no one but you and God are there
For one more look at spring you're standing there
And you'll point toward your triumphs in your corner of the lions den
Where you pitied, and you pondered, and you prayed

And you'll point to where your women sleep as softly as their skin is deep
Where you gambled, and you garnered, and you gave
'Neeth the long dark cloak of night it strokes its beard and he smokes his pipe
And has a laugh with all the sinners and the saints

Ha ha ha ha ha

Ha ha ha ha ha

He says every night you sing to me
Of things you want or think you need
But never do you call me just to listen
Now I've said before to such as thee
To Adam 'pon the wings of Eve
A love like ours is better from a distance

Oh love like ours
Oh love like ours
A love like ours is better from a distance
Oh love like ours
Oh love like ours
A love like ours is better from a distance

Oh love like ours
Oh love like ours
Yeah love like ours is better from a distance
