Lyrics - Rockabye by Difranco Ani

tending the garden of noisewhen
I grow the trafficand the churchbellsand the neighborhood boyssinging to myselfas the solitude sets inin tune with the symphonyof south brooklyn
I singrockabye, rockabye babyrockabye, the baby that is merockabye, rockabye babyrockabye til
I'm fast asleepthe tunnel is train tornthe tracks are worn and sore
I can feel the rattleriding up through the floorshe jumped the turnstylehe paid for his ride
I am the echo in the stationwhere their footfalls collide
I left her at the epicenterwe were trembling dutifully
I left him too
I left parts of mesinging rockabye...
I said today
I am leavingin every sense of the wordbut
I'm in love with your memory alreadyeverything
I've seen and heardand
I will go singingas the solitude sets inin time with the rythymof everywhere
I have beenit sounds like rockabye...
