A Quiet Lullaby (Redux)

[Acoustic Guitar Intro] [Verse: low energy, close mic, intimate] Here comes the moon again Oh It's too late to pray We're out of hope again And I'm still wide awake [Chorus: soulful, dynamic] So Don't say you love me Oh It's a quiet lullaby Don't say you love me Oh It's a quiet lullaby [Verse: tight groove] Oh It's too late to pray We're out of hope again And I'm still wide awake [Chorus: soulful, dynamic] So Don't say you love me Oh It's a quiet lullaby Don't say you love me Oh It's a quiet lullaby [Bridge] [Tempo stays the same, but the pocket drops deep. The acoustic guitar switches to a sharp, rhythmic, muted funk strum. A punchy, envelope-filtered bassline drops in heavily with a tight snare. The Rhodes keyboard plays staccato, jazzy stabs. The vocal style shifts to a soulful, syncopated, rhythmic delivery.] Close your eyes, Sleep tight Live your dreams The sun will rise soon enough But for now, Let the morning wait Just surrender to a quiet lullaby Oh, just surrender to a quiet lullaby [Verse: tight groove] And I walk the corridors Looking for one of my dreams The closer I get to my heart The more it moves away It moves away [Chorus: soulful, dynamic] So Don't say you love me Oh It's a quiet lullaby Don't say you love me Oh It's a quiet lullaby [Outro, funky electric guitar only, fading] Ah yeah Ah The sweet sight of humanity [Chorus] So Don't say you love me Oh It's a quiet lullaby Don't say you love me Oh It's a quiet lullaby
