Smiths - The Hand That Rocks The Cradle Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • Please dont cry
  • For the ghost and the storm outside
  • Will not invade this sacred shrine
  • Nor infiltrate your mind
  • My life down I shall lie
  • If the bogey-man should try
  • To play tricks on your sacred mind
  • To tease, torment, and tantalise
  • Wavering shadows loom
  • A piano plays in an empty room
  • Therell be blood on the cleaver tonight
  • And when darknesss lifts and the room is bright
  • Ill still be by your side
  • For you are all that matters
  • And Ill love you to till the day I die
  • There never need be longing in your eyes
  • As long as the hand that rocks the cradle is mine
  • Ceiling shadows shimmy by
  • And when the wardrobe towers like a beast of prey
  • Theres sadness in your beautiful eyes
  • Oh, your untouched, unsoiled, wonderous eyes
  • My life down I shall lie
  • Should restless spirits try
  • To play tricks on your sacred mind
  • I once had a child, and it saved my life
  • And I never even asked his name
  • I just looked into his wondrous eyes
  • And said : never never never again
  • And all too soon I did return
  • Just like a moth to a flame
  • So rattle my bones all over the stones
  • Im only a beggar-man whom nobody owns
  • Oh, see how words as old as sin
  • Fit me like a glove
  • Im here and here Ill stay
  • Together we lie, together we pray
  • There never need be longing in your eyes
  • As long as the hand that rocks the cradle is mine
  • As long as the hand that rocks the cradle is mine
  • Mine
  • Climb up on my knee, sonny boy
  • Although youre only three, sonny boy
  • Youre - youre mine
  • And your mother she just never knew
  • Oh, your mother ...
  • As long ... as long ... as long
  • I did my best for her
  • I did my best for her
  • As long ... as long ... as long as ... as long
  • I did my best for her
  • I did my best for her
  • Oh ...
