 {{lyrics
-|
+|Please don't cry
+For the ghost and the storm outside
+Will not invade this sacred shrine
+Nor infiltrate your mind
+My life down I shall lie
+If the bogey-man should try
+To play tricks on your sacred mind
+To tease, torment and tantalize
+Wavering shadows loom
+A piano plays in an empty room
+There'll be blood on the cleaver tonight
+And when darkness lifts and the room is bright
+I'll still be by your side for you are all that matters
+And I'll love you till the day I die
+There never need be longing in your eyes
+As long as the hand that rocks the cradle is mine
-}}
+Ceiling shadows shimmy by
+And when the wardrobe towers like a beast of prey
+There's sadness in your beautiful eyes
+Your untouched, unsoiled, wondrous eyes
+My life down I shall lie
+Should restless spirits try
+To play tricks on your sacred mind
+I once had a child and it saved my life
+I never even asked his name
+I just looked into his wondrous eyes
+And said "never never never again"
+And all too soon I did return
+Just like a moth to a flame
+So rattle my bones all over the stones
+I'm only a beggar-man whom nobody owns
+See how words as old as sin
+Fit me like a glove
+I'm here and here I'll stay
+Together we lie, together we pray
+There never need be longing in your eyes
+As long as the hand that rocks the cradle is mine
+As long as the hand that rocks the cradle is mine, mine

+Climb upon my knee, sonny boy
+Oh, though you're only three, sonny boy
+You're mine
+And your mother she just never knew
+As long as there's love
+As long as there's love
+I did my best for her
+I did my best for her
+As long as there's love
+As long as there's love
+I did my best for her
+I did my best for her
+Mine...
+Mine...
