Lyrics

tending the garden of noise
where i grow the traffic
and the church bells
and the neighborhood boys
singing to myself
when 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 i’m 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 turnstile
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
then i left him too
i left parts of me
singing
rockabye, rockabye baby
rockabye the baby that is me
rockabye, rockabye baby
rockabye til i’m fast asleep
i said, today i am leaving
in every sense of the word
but i’m in love
with your memory already
everything i’ve seen and heard
and i will go singing
as the solitude sets in
in time with the rhythm
of everywhere i’ve been
it sounds like
rockabye, rockabye baby
rockabye the baby that is me
rockabye, rockabye baby
rockabye til i’m fast asleep
