goodnight, goodnight sweet baby
the world has more for you
than it seems
goodnight, goodnight,
let the moonlight take the lid off your dreams

we took a small flight in the middle of the night
from one tiny place to another
and my parents, they remained
at the shack with Lorraine
and my aunt and my grandpa and brother

we walked down the tarmac and boarded the craft
the rain had us chilled to the bone
just the 3 of us took flight that night
Uncle Richard, me, and James Earl Jones

goodnight, goodnight, sweet baby
the world has more for you
than it seems
goodnight, goodnight
let the moonlight take the lid off your dreams

Ben Folds, "lullabye"
