Rock Me Like A Lullaby

From The Weight of Light

(© 2007 C. Townsend & D. Parker, Wild GinSang Music, BMI)

I heard the redbird singin’ out your name
I heard him sayin’ nothin’s been the same
We’ve been like old crows fussin’ all day long
All loud and sassy, treatin’ each other wrong

Chorus:
The sun don’t rise with sparklin’ eyes
To tell you the truth, honey, neither do I
Come on baby, rock me like a lullaby

I’m watchin’ for you, I been standin’ in the rain
Neighbors are talkin’ they think I’ve gone insane
We’re not just dreamers wanderin’ round in our sleep
We’re real life lovers and the good stuff, it don’t come cheap

Chorus

Play me a love song, we’ll sing it soft and slow
We’ll let it take us whereever we wanna go
Hear the wind a blowin’, swayin’ that old oak tree
Close that door and baby, baby come rock-a-bye me

Chorus
