(When the darkness falls like a curtain   And the night ahead is a long and uncertain dream   Beyond the loss and the hope of redemption)      At the broken heart of the city   Where the hollow light of day never reaches in   A man can break down and fall into pieces   He will fall asleep like a baby   And the unforgiving arms of the cradle   Rock as hard as the face of the city pavement   Hide your eyes   Hide your eyes      He can see the face of a lover   In the lonely face of the angel above him   Carved into the stone that is changing around him   He can feel her breathing inside him   And the unforgiving visions deny him   Life can only be what a man can make it   Hide your eyes   Hide your eyes      Sunday morning   Yellow sky   The sun is floating diamond high   Hours passing   A baby cries   In the arms of someone you imagine   Close your eyes   This is your lullaby   Close your eyes   This is your lullaby      He can feel his skin like a prison   Like a dying cage he struggles to live inside   He tries to call out but nobody hears him   At the ragged edge of the silence   In the calm that only comes with the violent sleep   Inside the heart and the hope of redemption   Hide your eyes   Hide your eyes      In the heart of someone you imagine   Close your eyes   This is your lullaby   Close your eyes   This is your lullaby      (Down, down, down   Would the fall never come to an end?   Wonder how many miles I've fallen   Must be somewhere near the centre of the earth   How funny it will seem to come out among the people   Who walk with their heads downwards   Down, down, down   Down, down, down   Would the fall never come to an end?)
