Ed Harcourt
Hush Little Voices
[Verse 1]
I lay awake, they've taken hold
The whispers on the wind pursue my restless soul
But it's alright, these ghostly things
If I can't drown them out, then I'll invite them in

[Pre-Chorus]
There's a storm in me
It never goes away no matter what I try
But in the morning light the shadows ebb away
They never rest at night

[Chorus]
Hush little voices, don't you cry
Mama's gonna sing you a lullaby
Hush little voices in my mind
Won't you sleep for a little while?
Hush little voices, don't you cry
Mama's gonna sing you a lullaby
Hush little voices in my mind
Why are you never satisfied?

[Verse 2]
Not long ago you were my prey
But I'm hunted now every night and day
The tables turned, you're in control
This fever in my mind will surely take its toll
[Pre-Chorus]
There's a storm in me
It never goes away no matter what I try
But in the morning light the shadows ebb away
They never rest at night

[Chorus]
Hush little voices, don't you cry
Mama's gonna sing you a lullaby
Hush little voices in my mind
Won't you sleep for a little while?
Hush little voices, don't you cry
Mama's gonna sing you a lullaby
Hush little voices in my mind
Why are you never satisfied?

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
Hush little voices, don't you cry
Mama's gonna sing you a lullaby
Hush little voices in my mind
Won't you sleep for a little while?
Hush little voices, don't you cry
Mama's gonna sing you a lullaby
Hush little voices in my mind
Why are you never satisfied?
