hush little voices

Sophie Ellis Bextor

I lie awake, they've taken hold
The whispers on the wind pursue
My restless soul
But it's alright, these ghostly things
If I can't drown them out
Then I'll invite them in

There's a storm in me
It never goes away
No matter what I try
But in the morning light
The shadows ebb away
They never rest at night

Hush little voices, don't you cry
Mama's gonna sing you a lullaby
Hush little voices in my mind
Won't you sleep for a little while?
Hush little voices, don't you cry
Mama's gonna sing you a lullaby
Hush little voices in my mind
Why are you never satisfied?

Not long ago you were my prey
But I'm hunted now every night and day
The tables turned, you're in control
This fever in my mind will surely
Take its toll

There's a storm in me
It never goes away
No matter what I try
But in the morning light
The shadows ebb away
They never rest at night

Hush little voices, don't you cry
Mama's gonna sing you a lullaby
Hush little voices in my mind
Won't you sleep for a little while?
Hush little voices, don't you cry
Mama's gonna sing you a lullaby
Hush little voices in my mind
Why are you never satisfied?

Hush little voices, don't you cry
Mama's gonna sing you a lullaby
Hush little voices in my mind
Won't you sleep for a little while?
Hush little voices, don't you cry
Mama's gonna sing you a lullaby
Hush little voices in my mind
Why are you never satisfied?
