Lullaby - Abby Diamond

I always used to climb trees

Come closer

Why should I come closer, if you cannot see me?

You think I cannot see you

I will sit here on this branch, come closer if you wish

These branches are too thin

If you wish.

Closer

If you wanna try me I could say what I, I gotta say, oh

If you wanna try me I could say what I, what I came to say, oh

Met you so I could get this off of my chest

Water’s so still now we’re wading in fast

Keep it slow darling, don’t let that body get ahead of your mind

(Get ahead of your mind)

Got me here thinking like you could care less

Give me those eyes like you want me undressed

If you’re not planning on tucking me in, I won’t sing you no lullaby

If you wanna try me I could say what I, I gotta say, oh

(I gotta say, say)

If you wanna try me I could say what I, what I came to say, oh

If you wanna try me I could say what I, I gotta say, oh

(I gotta say)

If you wanna try me I could say what I, what I came to say

Oh

Almost lovers here sitting in a tree

Are we gonna kiss?

Well, you tell me

Pull me in slow please hold me so close

And take me to my place

Shaking your head now like I was wrong (like I was wrong)

I have known this all along (all along)

Pull me in fast then you let me go slow

And you pause to watch my face

Oh, what are these games you play?

What are these games you play?

Why can you never say

Why can you never say

Just what you’re thinking of?

Just what you’re thinking of?

Oh, I guess I’d better leave

I guess I’d better leave

'Cause what I came to say

'Cause what I came to say

Is something that ain’t so

Ain’t so

Can you hear that?

What

Do you hear my heart beating?

Yes

Can you hear your own?

No. How is it that you can hear these things?

I am these things

It’s getting dark.

Will you come sing to me?

If you’re not planning on tucking me in, I won’t sing you a lullaby

If you wanna try me I could say what I, I gotta say, oh

If you wanna try me I could say what I, what I came to say, oh
