Hand That Rocks The Cradle Lyrics

please don't cry
 for the ghost in the storm outside
 they'll not invade this sacred shrine
 nor infiltrate your mind
 my life down I will lie
 if the bogeyman should try
 to play tricks on your sacred mind
 to tease, torment and tantilize
 waring shadows loom
 a piano plays in an empty room
 there'll be blood on the (cleaver) tonight
 and when darkness lifts and the room is bright
 I'll still be by your side
 you'll never be alone again
 
 as long as the hand that rocks the cradle is mine
 as long as the hand that rocks the cradle is mine
 
 seeing shadows shimmy, die
 and when the wardrobe (.....)
 the sadness in your beautiful eyes
 your untouched, unspoiled, wondrous eyes
 
 my life down I will lie
 should restless spirits try
 to play tricks on your sacred mind
 
 I once had a child and it saved my life
 and I never even asked his name
 I just looked into his wondrous eyes
 and said never
 never never again
 and all too soon I did return
 just like a moth to a flame
 so rattle my bones all over the stones
 because I'm only a beggar and nobody alms
 see how words recind
 
 I'm here and here I'll stay
 together
 together we'll pray
 yuo'll never need be alone again
 your eyes
 
 as long as the hand that rocks the cradle is mine
 as long as the hand that rocks the cradle is mine
 
 
 climb upon my sunny bones ....
