Lover's Lullaby

by Townes Van Zandt

Dreams that have flown down the hall

tears that were sown on despair

summer's turned fall

it don't matter at all

when I wake and find you lying there

Sweet silence and soft auburn hair

Blues gonna dance through the sky

time's gonna roll soft as rain

sigh after sigh is gonna pass by and by

ah love's gonna fly on the wind

when I gaze into your brown eyes again

All the things I've seen

and the places that I've been

don't mean a thing since I found you

all that matters now

since I've won your love somehow

are these plans I keep makin'

not to lose you

So sleep till the moon slips away

I'm hopin' all you're dreamin' comes true

when you rise with the day

I might not have too much to say

but you know that doesn't mean

that I don't love you

ah you know that doesn't mean

that I don't love you

All the things I've seen

and the places that I've been

don't mean a thing since I found you

all that matters now

since I've won your love somehow

are these plans I keep makin'

not to lose you

Dreams that have flown down the hall

tears that were sown on despair

summer's turned fall

it don't matter at all

when I wake and find you lying there

Sweet silence and soft auburn hair

Sweet silence and soft auburn hair
