Gwyn Jones and Bill White - My Rockin' Chair

from State of the Heart by Bill White

/

lyrics

Turn off the television
Close my eyes
Show myself pictures of previous times
Listen to the songs
Of the crickets and birds
Try to do some thinking without words

You heard the door open and close
Don’t look out the window
Nobody is there
Turn around my dear
I’m right behind you
Rockin' in my rockin' chair

Count the bruises
And broken bones
Words that hurt more than the stones
People who left
People who stayed
Debts outstanding and the ones marked paid

You heard the door open and close
Don’t look out the window
Nobody is there
Turn around my dear
I’m right behind you
Rockin' in my rockin' chair

The sun and the moon
Pass through clouds
Parties ‘til dawn, music too loud
Punches hard
Kisses soft
Drinks all around when the gloves come off

You heard the door open and close
Don’t look out the window
Nobody is there
Turn around my dear
I’m right behind you
Rockin' in my rockin' chair

Forgotten faces
Remembered names
In the end
It's all the same
What was here
Is no longer there
I keep on rockin'
In my rockin' chair

You heard the door open and close
Don’t look out the window
Nobody is there
Turn around my dear
I’m right behind you
Rockin' in my rockin' chair
