The Hand That Rocks The Cradle - The Smiths |
| [00:02.33] |
|
| [00:24.64] |
Please don't cry |
| [00:28.61] |
For the ghost and the storm outside |
| [00:33.08] |
Will not invade this sacred shrine |
| [00:37.60] |
Nor infiltrate your mind |
| [00:41.58] |
My life down I shall lie |
| [00:45.49] |
If the bogey-man should try |
| [00:50.12] |
To play tricks on your sacred mind |
| [00:54.40] |
To tease torment and tantalise |
| [00:58.69] |
Wavering shadows loom |
| [01:02.10] |
A piano plays in an empty room |
| [01:06.46] |
There'll be blood on the cleaver tonight |
| [01:10.36] |
And when darknesss lifts and the room is bright |
| [01:14.79] |
I'll still be by your side |
| [01:19.25] |
For you are all that matters |
| [01:22.33] |
And I'll love you to till the day I die |
| [01:27.52] |
There never need be longing in your eyes |
| [01:34.82] |
|
| [01:35.56] |
As long as the hand that rocks the cradle is mine |
| [01:44.41] |
Ceiling shadows shimmy by |
| [01:47.75] |
And when the wardrobe towers like a beast of prey |
| [01:52.43] |
There's sadness in your beautiful eyes |
| [01:56.09] |
Oh your untouched unsoiled wonderous eyes |
| [02:00.45] |
My life down I shall lie |
| [02:04.23] |
Should restless spirits try |
| [02:09.14] |
To play tricks on your sacred mind |
| [02:13.10] |
I once had a child and it saved my life |
| [02:16.77] |
And I never even asked his name |
| [02:20.81] |
I just looked into his wondrous eyes |
| [02:25.30] |
And said : "never never never again" |
| [02:29.25] |
And all too soon I did return |
| [02:34.38] |
Just like a moth to a flame |
| [02:37.06] |
So rattle my bones all over the stones |
| [02:42.17] |
I'm only a beggar-man whom nobody owns |
| [02:46.32] |
Oh see how words as old as sin |
| [02:50.71] |
Fit me like a glove |
| [02:53.88] |
I'm here and here I'll stay |
| [02:58.75] |
Together we lie together we pray |
| [03:02.97] |
There never need be longing in your eyes |
| [03:09.84] |
|
| [03:10.83] |
As long as the hand that rocks the cradle is mine |
| [03:18.98] |
As long as the hand that rocks the cradle is mine |
| [03:26.06] |
Mine |
| [03:28.06] |
Climb up on my knee sonny boy |
| [03:35.81] |
Although you're only three sonny boy |
| [03:42.86] |
You're - you're mine |
| [03:46.98] |
And your mother she just never knew |
| [03:51.70] |
Oh your mother |
| [03:54.21] |
As long as long as long |
| [04:00.69] |
I did my best for her |
| [04:04.65] |
I did my best for her |
| [04:08.80] |
As long as long as long as as long |
| [04:16.95] |
I did my best for her |
| [04:21.20] |
I did my best for her |
| [04:26.14] |
Oh |
