Lullaby Of London - Live At The Olympia, Paris / 2012

Lyrics

As I walked down by the riverside
 One evening in the spring
 Heard a long-gone song from days gone by
 Blowing in on the great north wind
 Though there is no lonesome corncrake's cry
 Of sorrow and delight
 You can hear the cars and the shouts from bars
 The laughter and the fights
 May the ghosts that howled 'round the house at night
 Never to bring you mysery
 May they all sleep tight down in hell tonight
 Or wherever they may be
 ♪
 As I walked on with a heavy heart
 Then a stone danced on the tide
 And the song went on though the lights were gone
 And the north wind gently sighed
 And an evening breeze coming from the east
 That kissed the riverside
 So I pray now, child, that you sleep tonight
 When you hear this lullaby
 May the wind that blows from haunted graves
 Never bring you misery
 May the angels bright watch you tonight
 And keep you while you sleep
 ♪
 Thank you, merci
 This is called "The Body of an American"
