Please dont 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 tantalise
Wavering shadows loom
A piano plays in an empty room
Therell be blood on the cleaver tonight
And when darknesss lifts and the room is bright
Ill still be by your side
For you are all that matters
And Ill love you to 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
Theres sadness in your beautiful eyes
Oh, your untouched, unsoiled, wonderous 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
And 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
Im only a beggar-man whom nobody owns
Oh, see how words as old as sin
Fit me like a glove
Im here and here Ill 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 up on my knee, sonny boy
Although youre only three, sonny boy
Youre - youre mine
And your mother she just never knew
Oh, your mother ...
As long ... as long ... as long
I did my best for her
I did my best for her
As long ... as long ... as long as ... as long
I did my best for her
I did my best for her
Oh ...
The Smiths were a British indie rock band formed in Manchester in 1982. The group consisted of Morrissey (vocals), Johnny Marr (guitar), Andy Rourke (bass) and Mike Joyce (drums). Considered one of the most influential bands in independent music of the 1980s, The Smiths combined catchy melodies with introspective and often melancholic lyrics by Morrissey, which addressed themes such as alienation, loneliness and unrequited love. Their music had a significant impact on the British and international music scene, influencing genres such as post-punk, shoegaze and Britpop. Among the most representative songs of The Smiths are "How Soon Is Now?", "There Is a Light That Never Goes Out" and "This Charming Man". The debut album "The Smiths" (1984) is considered a classic of the indie rock genre, while "Meat Is Murder" (1985) addressed political and animal rights issues. After a series of successes, The Smiths disbanded in 1987 due to internal conflicts. Morrissey embarked on a successful solo career, while Johnny Marr became a renowned producer and musician collaborating with artists such as Modest Mouse and The Cribs.
