Once upon a time, I tried to sing this wistful lullaby But as the night caught fire, my heart became a choir Come on, slow this all down, like ooh How sweet the sound when you whisper words like "soothe me" Oh, it soothes me Lay me down when you come this close, it moves me Oh, it moves me Cause your eyes make me sing hallelujah And everything's so sweet cause it feels like morning And in the city sky, all the lonesome angels cry The patchwork broken wings, they saw like woven kings They cry "slow this all down," like ooh How sweet the sound when you whisper words like "soothe me" Oh, it soothes me Lay me down; when you come this close, it moves me Oh, it moves me And your eyes, they could sing hallelujah; it's what they bring So sweet when it feels like morning Yesterday, I saw the devil take the stand Oh, man, they nearly called the preacher But as it skipped on down, he smiled and shook my hand so politely "Nice to meet you," oh, babe When you whisper words like "soothe me" Oh, it soothes me Lay me down; when you make love like this, it moves me Lord it moves me And your eyes make me sing hallelujah, you pretty thing So sweet when it feels like morning Cause your lips, they'd warm the sun And made the flowers in the springtime bloom as one When your hands aim and [?] They made the man in me kneel down and burn for more So sweet when it feels like morning
