Robin Holcomb - Rockabye lyrics

rate me

Put pen to the paper and sign

The lines on both sides of your hand

I can read

What settles out at the bottom

Of a bottle of wine

Are promises, lies

You can choose to believe

When rumours won't leave you alone

Your words cast a shadow

Try to fill in their form

Lay your hat on the table

O, I'll take your side

The mirror allows what the darkness divides

You'll never tell all that you know

In spite of the shelter

The storm will blow

Through the pastures of safety

May you plow the straight line

Walk slow, with a swing in

The river will rise

Pass under my window and wave

Sirens yell at each other

I don't hear your name

Spin hard in a circle

If you want to go down

Sing praises to the neighbour who

Is tending the ground

Rockabye

There'll be a blanket to cover you

When you go down

Rockabye

There'll be a blanket to cover you

When you go down

What you learn from the bottle is true

One is too many and two are too few

Line up the small glasses

O, tell me what you have heard

There's not a thing to laugh about

Tonight in this world

You made me call all over town

You're easy to lose

When you want to be found

I remember a room

Lit by one brilliant light

Throw the windows wide open

We'll sit in the dark tonight

Rockabye

There'll be a blanket to cover you

When you go down

Rockabye

There'll be a blanket to cover you

When you go down

Put pen to the paper and sign

The lines on both sides of your hand

I can read

What settles out at the bottom

Of a bottle of wine

Are promises, lies

You can choose to believe
