Goodnight bless you
Let angels possess you
You'll make dreams of another life
Don't think it's too much
To close eyes and leave us
In strange places we'll come undone
And the building blocks sometimes have to crash
Not built to last like a mother's love
Real life it's all true
You know how i'll miss you
In quiet places I'll come undone
The building blocks sometimes have to crash
Not built to last like a mother's love
Sleep comes when all is laid to rest
That's where you'll find what you're looking for
Strange feelings you can't explain
Wild forces you can't contain
And the building blocks sometimes have to crash
Not built to last like your mother's love
Peace comes when fear is laid to rest
That's when you'll find what you're looking for
Let angels possess you
You'll make dreams of another life
Don't think it's too much
To close eyes and leave us
In strange places we'll come undone
Not built to last like a mother's love
You know how i'll miss you
In quiet places I'll come undone
Not built to last like a mother's love
Sleep comes when all is laid to rest
That's where you'll find what you're looking for
Wild forces you can't contain
Not built to last like your mother's love
Peace comes when fear is laid to rest
That's when you'll find what you're looking for

Would this not be a great funeral song or what?
The song is actually titled "Lullaby Requiem". I think Neil Finn wrote it as a tribute for his mother who passed before "Try Whistling This" was released.
it was actually before one nil(2001) was released.his mother died in 2000, TWT was out in 1998.it appered on one all(2002), the american release of one nil.
