Hush a Bye Baby

Hush a bye baby
Strung up in the tree tops
Was life too good for you?

Hush a bye baby
What did you think when your heart stopped?
Was life too much for you?

Hush a bye baby
What led to your downfall?
Was I too good for you?

Hush a bye baby
How did silence enthrall?
Was I too much for you?

Hush a bye baby
Death holds you in its cradle
Do you remember when I rocked you?

When the bough breaks
The thick rope falls
And down comes my pale baby
Cradle and all
