Rocking Chair

(альбом: The Singer And The Song - 1971)

Rocking myself to sleep
In this rocking chair
It's easy to fall asleep
In the cool night air
It's been a hard day, a hard day
A little work at a little place

Rocking myself to sleep
In this rocking chair
Trying to count the sheep
In this cool night air
It's been a long time, a long time
I haven't had much peace of mind

Maybe I'll run away
Find myself a new life
I should have gone today
But I'd hate to leave my wife

Rocking myself to sleep
In this rocking chair
Thinking about my lady
Such a sad affair
She's in an institution in a bad way
She tried to shoot me with a knife today
