Ani Difranco - Rockabye lyrics

Tending the garden of noise Where i grow the traffic And the church bells And the neighborhood boys Singing to myself When the solitude sets in In tune with the symphony Of south brooklyn I sing Rockabye, rockabye baby Rockabye, the baby that is me Rockabye, rockabye baby Rockabye till i'm fast asleep The tunnel is train torn The tracks are worn and sore I can feel the rattle Riding up through the floor She jumped the turnstile He paid for his ride I am the echo in the station Where their footfalls collide I left her at the epicenter We were trembling dutifully I left him too I left parts of me Singing... Rockabye, rockabye baby Rockabye, the baby that is me Rockabye, rockabye baby Rockabye till i'm fast asleep (repeats) I said today i am leaving In every sense of the word But i'm in love with your memory already Everything i've seen and heard And i will go singing As the solitude sets in In time with the rhythm Of everywhere i have been It sounds like Rockabye, rockabye baby Rockabye, the baby that is me Rockabye, rockabye baby Rockabye till i'm fast asleep (repeats x3) Tending the garden of noise Where i grow the traffic And the church bells And the neighborhood boys Singing to myself When the solitude sets in In tune with the symphony Of south brooklyn
