Lyrics
Baby,
Wherever you are tonight
I'm sending this lullaby
In hope it reaches to your heart
Crazy, crazy
Time is boundless and cruel
Like that it changes everything
And spins you like a fool
It was only briefly,
Now I must let go
Love rushed in
Then pushed us out
Two drifters lost at sea
Laden by the moonlit night
A sailor's tragedy
It was only briefly,
Now I mourn for you
