Lyrics Cradlemoon - Martin Hall

Cradlemoon

The fire and the water keep mixing in my blood
The sons and the daughters seemed to give it all up They get too tired of the waiting, too tired to believe
In the promises that nobody keeps
I’ve seen a generation coming, I’ve seen a generation go And the more I see, the less I know
I want to go to sleep
I want to drown in the deep of the cradlemoon
I want to touch the sky
I want to lie down and die in the cradlemoon of the night
So I followed the shadows by the trail of the waste
And it lead me into the heart, to the heart of these days
Never wanted to remember, never wanted to believe
But you don’t ask why when the thunderheart beats
All I wanted was a reason, what I got was so much more
Couldn’t turn my back on the things that I saw
I want to go to sleep
I want to drown in the deep of the cradlemoon
I want to touch the sky
I want to lie down and die in the cradlemoon of the night
In a world full of stories, there’s a time in the night
When the sky seems to break by the blink of the eye
