Rockabye

ROCKABYE
By Benjamin Dakota Rogers

So come /
Won’t you stay /
And try to make this place feel like home /
‘Cause I haven’t felt at home in days /
But i’m okay /
‘Cause there’s a priest he’s coming Monday /
Says he’s going to make me right as the rain /
It’s coming down /
‘Cause it’s been storming here forever /
Oh they’ve flooded the whole damn town /
Where I was born /
But I left that place so quickly /
So now I’m lit up by a city I don’t know /

So rockabye oh you moonlight lady /
Don’t you cry oh my sweet baby /
‘Cause the morning train it’s going to come /
Oh and I’ll be coming home on it maybe /
So rockabye oh you moonlight lady /

California, LA /
And oh you know I’ll always love you /
But you know that I can never stay /
Asleep /
Because I’m haunted by a monster /
Oh I’m haunted by my image in my dreams /
But I can fly /
Oh up above this world’s so silly /
Wave to the man in the moon as he’s passing me by /
Either way /
I heard from someone you’re still pretty /
Did you know I think of you time and time again /

So rockabye oh you moonlight lady /
Don’t you cry oh my sweet baby /
‘Cause the morning train it’s going to come /
And I’ll be coming home on it maybe /
So rockabye oh you moonlight lady
