Lullabye

A sunlit room in a brand new home
you know we've got your room prepared
the crib and the cradle and the painted walls
the animals and the rocking chair

in such a short time you'll be here
and then you'll share our happy home
I give you maybe twenty years
then you'll be out on your own

All my love is not my own
all my time is yours alone
all I have and all I own
I got it all on loan

Darkened room at the county home
I'm a ragged man at the end of the road
my family's left me all alone
while my memories and my health erode
of all the places that I've been
and all the thought I thought I'd earned
there's a loss with every win
if there's a lesson I have learned, it's
