Melancholy lullaby
Coming from a troubled sky
Winging through the clinging vine
Right into this heart of mine

Melancholy lullaby
Listen to the night wind sigh
How can I expect to sleep
When I lay me down to weep?

Your love has cooled
From flame to ice
And I've been fooled
Into a fool's paradise!

Hear the music of the rain
Beating on my window pane;
Wish that I could say goodbye
To my melancholy lullaby
