Lullabye Lyrics - The Unauthorized Biography Of Reinhold Messner - Ben Folds Five

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 past the tarmac and boarded the craft 

The rain had me chilled to the bones 

Just the three of us took flight that night 

Uncle Richard, me and James Earl Jones 

And the pilot he gave me a blanket 

And the tall dark man 

Sang to me in deep rich tones
