"The Lullaby (My Oldest Love)" lyrics

"The Lullaby (My Oldest Love)"

The day is gone, you played it wrong
You're the only one who knows
So close the light, call the fight
Pull your mind back inside
You're just tired

It's hard to see, hard to believe
Our body brings us all we need
Let it go, let go to sleep

My oldest love
You're the only one
Who feels it all

We walk around, all hollowed out
And fill our cups with fear and doubt
Oh ghosts of sleep, wash me clean
And show me what I ought to keep
And what must leave
Oh, set me free

My oldest love
You're the only one
Who feels it all

My oldest love
You're the only one
Who can hear it all
Only one
