lyrics

Hey baby it will be alright
I don’t care where you went last night
Times ain’t easy and I know it’s been hard
I left you standing in the old school yard

Hush baby it will be just fine
Spring is coming and it’s just in time
I’m going to pick you up and spin you around
There’s nothing like this love we’ve found

Ooooo Oooo

Hey baby just don’t you cry
I can’t bare to hear the tears in your eyes
There’s nothing left in my own place
Nowhere for you to make your great escapes

Hush baby don’t you say a word
I’m bringing you back a mockingbird
And if that mockinbird don’t sing
I’m going to get you a diamond ring

Ooooo Oooo Oooo Oooo

This is potentially the greatest dreampop record of the 2010s. Combining bold, memorable melodies, varied and textured music, and emotionally breathtaking lyrics, Psychopomp will be remembered for many decades to come and has an unforgettable place in the heart of anybody who knows it.
