Once there was a way
To get back homeward
Once there was a way
To get back home

Sleep, little darling, do not cry
I will sing a lullaby

Golden slumbers fill your eyes
Smiles await you when you rise
Sleep, little darling, do not cry
And I will sing a lullaby

Once there was a way
To get back homeward
Once there was a way
To get back home

Sleep, little darling, do not cry
And I will sing a lullaby

Boy, you're gonna carry that weight
Carry that weight a long time
Boy, you're gonna carry that weight
Carry that weight a long time

Oh yeah, I never give you my pillow
I only send you my invitations
And in the middle of a celebration, I lay down

Boy, you're gonna carry that weight
Carry that weight a long time
Boy, you're gonna carry that weight
Carry that weight a long time

Oh yeah, all right
Well, you're gonna be in my dreams tonight

Love you, love you
Love you, love you
Love you, love you
Love you, love you

And in the end
The love you take
Is equal to the love
You make

Oh, oh
Yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah
