Sinead O’Connor – Lullaby For Cain
from The Talented Mr. Ripley soundtrack
From the silence, from the night
Comes a distant lullaby.
Cry, remember that first cry,
Your brother standing by,
And love, both loved
Beloved sons of mine.
Sing a lullaby.
Mother is close by.
Innocent eyes,
Such innocent eyes
Envy stole your brother’s life,
Came home murdered, peace of mind.
Left you nightmares on the pillow.
Sleep now
Soul, surrendering your soul,
The heart in you not whole
For love, but love what toll?
Cast into the dark
Branded with the mark.
Of shame, of Cain.
From the garden of God’s light
To a wilderness of night.
Sleep now
sleep now
