Forgotten Lullabies

All Women Girl-Album Cut Victoria Boland
Verse 1
She sits and rocks alone
at the old folks County home
clock chimes on the wall
she just stares at the phone
her long golden curls
have turned silver with time
she's so far from home
with her Forgotten Lullabies
Chorus
Forgotten Lullabies
of when her son was a child
she sings them at night
when she can't close her eyes
like a bird in a cage
she sits and she waits
suspended in time
with her Forgotten Lullabies
Verse 2
She walks to the rec hall
same routine every day
finds an empty seat
feels she's takin' up space
maybe her son will call
she hasn't seen him in a while
oh they say she's lost her mind
with her Forgotten Lullabies
Repeat Chorus
Instrumental
Bridge
Her son got a call
he was told she passed away
in that moment he recalled
A Forgotten lullaby
rock-a-bye, rock-a-bye
Chorus 2
Forgotten Lullabies
from when he was a child
he remembers them at night
it's too late to make it right
the boy inside the man
pretends to hold her hand
tears fill his eyes
as he recalls her lullabies
TAG
In an old wooden chair
a woman sits and rocks alone
won't you pick up the phone
or drop by the County home
