  • Everybody's got a different story
    Everybody wanna give their selves away
    But I'm still afraid

    If we can stay out of their field of vision
    If we can keep ourselves a half a world away
    Ah honey we'll be OK

    The world can be so cruel
    But I will sing for you
    This cradle song
    All night long

    Everybody's got their own opinion
    Everybody's got a place were they belong
    Like a favorite song
    I don't want to be a faded memory
    I don't want to be the ghost that you cant shake
    I want to be the real thing

    The world can be so cruel
    But I will sing for you
    This cradle song
    All night long

    Yeah all night long
    Yeah all night long
    Oh, oh, oh

    No one said we were victims honey
    No one said we had to keep the things we get
    And there ain't no regrets
    And all our friends, they moved to Hollywood
    But we ain't that desperate yet, oh no
    Ain't nothing like the real thing

    The world can be so cruel
    And let me sing for you
    This cradle song
    All night long

    The world can be so cruel
    But I will sing for you
    This cradle song
    All night long

    This cradle song
    This cradle song

    Yeah all night long
    Sing it all night long, yeah
    Yeah, sing it all night long
    sing it all night long

    Yeah, yeah
    All night long, oh Writer/s: ROBERT THOMAS
