Lonely LullabyOwl City

Released: July 19, 2011

Songwriter: Adam Young

Producer: Adam Young

[Verse 1]
Symphony of silver tears
Sing to me and sooth the ring in my ears
Overcast these gloomy nights wear on
But I'm holding fast because it's darkest just before the dawn

[Pre-Chorus]
I sang my princess fast asleep
Because she was my dream come true
Oh Anne Marie, believe me, I loved you
But now those lonely lullabies
Just dampen my tired eyes
Because I can't forget you
Because I can't forget you

[Chorus]
I'll dissolve when the rain pours in
When the nightmares take me
I will scream with the howling wind
'Cause it's a bitter world and I'd rather dream

[Verse 2]
Dizzy love turned a star lily pink
And hung above our lids too flushed to blink
But icy blue froze the fairytale cold
Though I treasured you and you sparkled with someone to hold

[Pre-Chorus]
I sang my princess fast asleep
'Cause she was my dream come true
Oh Anne Marie, believe me, I loved you
But now those lonely lullabies
Just dampen my tired eyes
Because I can't forget you
Because I can't forget you

[Chorus]
I'll dissolve when the rain pours in
When the nightmares take me
I will scream with the howling wind
'Cause it's a bitter world and I'd rather dream
I'll dissolve when the rain pours in
When the nightmares take me
I will scream with the howling wind
'Cause it's a bitter world and I'd rather dream
And I'd rather dream

[Outro]
Anne Marie, I'll never forget you
Anne Marie, I'll never forget you
Anne Marie, remember me?
I'll never forget you
Anne Marie, remember me?
I'll never forget you
Anne Marie, remember me?
I'll never forget you

Owl City

Originally making songs in his basement for his friends as Sky Sailing, Adam Young then discovered synth music and became Owl City, releasing two relatively unpopular albums Maybe I’m Dreaming and Of June before making his hit single “Fireflies” which made his third album as Owl City, Ocean Eyes a hit.

After this worldwide success he put on two more albums, All Things Bright and Beautiful in 2011, and The Midsummer Station in 2012. In 2014 he released an EP, Ultraviolet, composed of 4 songs whom one would appear on his following album, Mobile Orchestra. Retiring from Owl City in 2016 to focus on Adam Young Scores, a new project made of orchestral soundtracks about historic events, he reappeared in 2017 to tease his upcoming new album Cinematic, with the release of a series of three EPs, called Reel 1 , 2 and 3.
