Anna Nalick - 'The Lullaby Singer' (2010)

Singer-songwriter Anna Nalick presents "The Lullaby Singer."

Lyrics:

You say, "Baby turn the light out"
But I can see there's something crying in your smile now
Yeah, you used to be the glitter in the dirt
And now you say it's just you feel a little dusty

Why didn't anybody tell you that it ain't easy
Life don't imitate reality TV
I can see you tugging on a wishbone
Angling an outcome
Bones will only break there words

But you don't know that it beats my heart
To black and blue all over
When you cry those tears
Like paper cuts and iodine

When you were here
I couldn't find the words to say
I'll be your lullaby singer
I won't let you down
I promise to try and try
Lullaby, lullaby
Lullaby, lullaby

Panic is a shotgun
I don't know if I can get you out of this one
But you can call me up at twenty after midnight
I'll stay on the line to talk you down and tuck you in

Eyes wide open brighter than the candles
On a cake you wasted wishes on when you were okay

When you were here
I couldn't find the words to say
I'll be your lullaby singer
I won't let you down
I promise to try and try
Lullaby, lullaby
Lullaby, lullaby

I definitely prefer this to the album version. "Eyes wide open like the candles on the cake you wasted wishes on when you were okay" is my second favorite line to a song ever!

[lrsss]

Queria essa versão no Spotify 😔 amo muito

[ArctangentOfInfinity]

A five-year wait. Well worth it. We need more singer-songwriters like her.

[shakenama]

It rare to find artists who aren't prefabricated studio cookie cutters who sing writers songs. Anna is a rare gem. An amazing artist writing deep lyrical songs with meaning. I just hope she can do this on her own without Sony.

I wish this was on iTunes. :'( I love this song!

What a voice, what a looker, what a writer. "Breathe" is one of my all-time classics. the Radman

She's an amazing talent, and drop dead beautiful to boot. What a combo.

[JonathanMays]

As enchanting as ever. Anna is back at last and she's still amazing!! This song is a jewel and I can't wait to hold the album in my hands!! The wait was so long I can't believe it's almost over.

[jmarkiemark]

Awesome song. Awesome voice. SO glad she's back.

Sometimes, you're on youtube and don't know what to do and suddenly, you click on this video and feel good. Thanks !

[iKeithers]

It's fantastic because Iodine is trace element, but it's still crucial for life.
