lyrics

The Crooner

You wake up in a room that’s dark with somethin’ more than night
You lie awake and can’t believe that you will ever see the light
The moon and stars are hidden and the voice of God is still
The world’s turned into one black hole too meaningless to fill

But then you hear the crooner
He sings a song for you
Listen to the crooner
He will help you through
He keeps the music swingin’
All night long without a frown
Just listen to the crooner
He won’t let you down

In your dreams you hear the bombers flyin’ low to drop their deadly load
You dream of cities burning of cathedrals that explode
Of carousels turned upside down the horses torn and crushed
You hear lonely cries for mercy all muffled in the dust

But then you hear the crooner
Singin’ softly in your ear
He comforts your affliction
Helps you overcome your fear
Just leave it to the crooner
To heal the broken night
Listen to the crooner
And you will feel all right

You try to get up in the mornin’ and face responsibility
Take chances make commitments and walk the straight and narrow way
But you know every bridge is burnin’ before you even try to cross
Before the cards are dealt and your hand is played the game’s already lost

But then you hear the crooner
And reach out your trembling hand
You give it to the crooner
And he helps you make a stand
You thought the rest was silence
But once again your bell will chime
If you listen to the crooner
His rhythm and his rhyme

Today I’ll be your crooner
Tomorrow you’ll be mine
