I bought Lullabies To Paralyze, by Queens of the Stone Age, because I had heard a couple of singles from the CD ("Little Sister" & "Burn the Witch") and liked them.  When I sat down to listen to the whole thing, however, it was the first song, "This Lullaby", that I found myself playing again and again.  I love the haunted lullaby sound -- just Mark Lanegan singing with Joshua Homme playing acoustic guitar -- and the lyrics snagged my attention too: The sadness and longing of this man waiting for his love to return -- this was Jacob's song. 

"This Lullaby" Lyrics
by Queens of the Stone Age

Where O where have you been my love?
Where O where can you be?
It's been so long, since the moon has gone.
And O what a wreck you've made me.

Are you there over the ocean?
Are you there, up in the sky?
Until the return of my love
This lullaby

My hope is on the horizon
Every face, it's your eyes I can see
I plead, I pray through each night and day
Our embrace is only a dream.

And as sure as days come from moments
Each hour becomes a life's time
When she'd left, I'd only begun this lullaby
