Don Henley - Lilah Lyrics
LilahLike every young man, I had some things that iWanted to sayEre I could begin, you know the world gotIn my wayOh lilah, to sleep like a babyTo open the window and feel the fair windOh lilah, to sleep like a baby againWe spend so much time weeping and wailing andShaking our fistsCreating enemies that really dont existOh lilah, to sleep like a baby-To open the window and feel the fair windOh lilah, to sleep like a baby againAll these comings and goings that cut like a knifeThese small, simple pleasures that make up a lifeA man needs a home, and a child, and a wifeTo always be there-alwaysAfter Im gone, there are some things that I knowI will missThe taste of your mouth; the smell of the perfumeOn your wristOh, lilah, the fields lie fallowWhater ye sow, so shall ye reapThe rivers still shallowBut the riverbank is dark and deepOh lilah, the fields lie fallowWhater ye sow, so shall ye reapOh lilah, this ground be hallowIs ours to tend, but not to keepToodle-loo de-loo lilahToodle-loo de-loo de-layNow, while all the streets are silentTake my hand and come awayToodle-loo de-loo lilahToodle-loo de-loo de-lay
