Story behind the song
"...magically combines an intimate and somewhat dreamy touch with an extreme and almost painful sincerity...[the music] has a personality...a mysterious quality of bearing your inner image in it, like a semi-transparent silhouette of ones soul visible behind the veil of sound. No wonder Ellen Weiss chose this tune! It is a true masterpiece."
- On-Reflection
Lyrics
Hush, little child, and go to sleep now
As you lie in the darkness
each soothing lullaby
is laced with lies
As long as the lights are turned out
what you can't see can't hurt you
You'll never know...
your family portrait is only a photograph
Its colors aren't true
The picture's altered to hide every skeleton
and mask the truth for you
Hush, little child, and keep on dreaming
safe in the land of make-believe
while your real family
you won't see
They tiptoe and they whisper
with no communication
so you won't know...
your family portrait is only a photograph
their faces aren't real
The picture's altered to hide infidelities
and mask the way they feel
Your family portrait is only a photograph
They pose in sweet denial
The picture's altered to hide secret illnesses
behind their wall of smiles
Hush, little child, don't ever shatter
your picture-perfect childhood
and even when they die
you can't know why
Your ignorance brings bliss while
the paradise keeps fading
behind your smile
Your family portrait is only a photograph
As long as you behave
the glossy picture will hide every skeleton
that takes them to the grave
Your family portrait, though faded and yellowing
looks rosy, like it should
The notes still hidden, the wool hanging in your eyes
it's all for your own good
