Once there was a way
To get back home again.
Once there was a way
To get back home.
Sleep pretty darlin’ do not cry,
And I will sing a lullaby.
Golden slumbers fill your eyes
Smiles to wait you when you rise.
Sleep pretty darlin’ do not cry,
And I will sing a lullaby.
You never gave me your pillow.
You only gave me your invitation,
And in the middle of the celebration,
I break down.
Boy, you got to carry that weight,
Carry that weight a long time.
Boy, you got to carry that weight,
Carry that weight a long time.
Boy, you got to carry that weight,
Carry that weight a long time.
And in the end,
The love you take
Is equal to the love we make.
