Rockabye — текст песни (Ani Difranco)

Tending the garden of noise

When I grow the traffic

And the churchbells

And the neighborhood boys

Singing to myself

As 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 til Im 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 turnstyle

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...



I said today I am leaving

In every sense of the word

But Im in love with your memory already

Everything Ive seen and heard

And I will go singing

As the solitude sets in

In time with the rythym

Of everywhere I have been

It sounds like rockabye...
