lyrics

People often say beware
Of the blue pin in her hair
Of the dagger In her eyes
In her sweet, sweet lullaby

It was only yesterday
The show arrived in Mandalay
A sky blue pin that stole the light
A sweet, sweet sounding lullaby

Every flower, Every note
Every bitter antidote
Further carried him along
The winding path inside her song

And when the final curtain fell
they took the ghost of a taxi to a strange hotel
She took the blue pin from her long, long hair
And went a long way clear

People often say it's so
That with a length of ribbon bow
That with a certain kind of tie
You'll hear that sweet, sweet lullaby

And when the lights of the harbour hit an ashtray rim
She'll get a match if she's able and a heart-shaped tin
She'd cut a notch in the handle if some room was there
and take a cheap, blue pin down from her hair

By the light of the moon
Just for a second or two
I seen a man, a woman and a shimmer of blue
Now I can't be too sure and I don't mean to lie
But I may have heard the murder of a lullaby

People often say farewell
Where they run to, who can tell?
Should they come back will they cry?
For the sweet little murder of a lullaby

And when the rise of the curtain comes round again
There'll be a new kind of singer with a song for him
She'll get her hand in his pocket for the taxi fare
and take a blue pin from her hair

All for a tune,
That sweet, sweet tune
She's on a train and a train only ever passes through
Now I can't be too sure and I don't mean to lie
but she may've heard,
yes she may have heard
well she may have heard...

That sweet lullaby
