All I can hear are the crickets And the whistle from some lonely freight I've been working so hard to make everything right But for now it'll just have to wait 'Cause tonight I'd like you to rock me to sleep I'd like you to sing me a song I'm tired of trying to figure things out And I'm tired of being so strong I've never been too good at asking I'm more apt to do it alone And it's strange how a lot of us think something's wrong If we can't do it all on our own 'Cause tonight I'd like you to rock me to sleep I'd like you to sing me a song I'm tired of trying to figure things out And I'm tired of being so strong It's funny how times when your hurtin' Make what's so familiar seem strange And when you need help, it's hardest to ask And it always takes so long to change 'Cause tonight I'd like you to rock me to sleep I'd like you to sing me a song I'm tired of trying to figure things out And I'm tired of being so strong.
