Lilah - Don Henley

Like every young man I had some things

That I wanted to say

Ere I could begin you know the world got

In my way

Oh Lilah to sleep like a baby

To open the window and feel the fair wind

Oh Lilah to sleep like a baby again

We spend so much time weeping

And wailing and shaking our fists

Creating enemies that really don't exist

Oh Lilah to sleep like a baby

To open the window and feel the fair wind

Oh Lilah to sleep like a baby again

All these comings and goings that cut like a knife

These small simple pleasures that make up a life

A man needs a home and a child and a wife

To always be there-always

After I'm gone there are some things that I know

I will miss

Taste of your mouth; the smell of the perfume

On your wrist

Oh Lilah the fields lie fallow

What'er ye sow so shall ye reap

Oh Lilah The river's still shallow

But the river's bed is dark and deep

Oh Lilah the fields lie fallow

What'er ye sow so shall ye reap

Oh Lilah this ground we hallow

Is ours to tend but not to keep

Too-rah loo-rah loo-rah Lilah

Too-rah loo-rah loo-rah lay

Now while all the streets are silent

Take my hand and come away

Too-rah loo-rah loo-rah Lilah

Too-rah loo-rah loo-rah lay

Too-rah loo-rah loo-rah Lilah

Too-rah loo-rah loo-rah lay
