"Reuben's Lullaby" - Lyrics
Added 2024-10-17 18:44:19 +0000 UTCIn a dingy, ill lit train
Nina pushed through all the pain
And Martin breathes his very first breath
His breathing turns to crying
And nina started smiling
“You ain’t seen nothing yet, oh baby.
It’s okay to cry, if you mean it.
When your daddy started his forever sleepin’
your Mama cried too, but now I have you.
What goes around comes back around
and Reuben’s lullaby, is love until you die.
Reuben’s lullaby is die for those you love.
And Reuben’s lullaby, is not for you and I.
Reuben’s lullaby is here for everyone.”
Goo-roo-roo Oo-roo-roo Ra-ta-ta Ah-ta-ta (x2)
They stay living on the train
Nina works for merger pay
And Martin learns to sing over the years
Nina gets an illness bad
Healthy just ain’t coming back
At her bedside, she sees Martin holding tears
“It’s okay to cry, if you mean it.
Just cause I won’t be around, don't mean I’m leavin’.
Your Daddy’s gone too and you know it’s true
he’s still in the songs you share with everyone.
and Reuben’s lullaby, is love until you die.
Reuben’s lullaby is die for those you love.
And Reuben’s lullaby, is not for you and I.
Reuben’s lullaby is here for everyone.”
Goo-roo-roo Oo-roo-roo Ra-ta-ta Ah-ta-ta (x3)
