Jill Sobule › Lyrics › Rock Me to Sleep

Six in the morning, been up since three
I wish I had somebody to rock me to sleep
The sun won't be melting these snowy white sheets
Wish I had somebody to rock me to sleep
Rock me to sleep, rock me to sleep
Wish I had somebody to rock me to sleep

The book on the bed stand, the little TV
The drink and the ashtray, keep watch over me
The long dark shadows of the sycamore tree
Wave and keep me company, keep me company, company
The long dark hands of the sycamore tree

Take me in your arms and hold me
Till I close my eyes
Till the street lamps die
And the traffic rumbles

Rock me to sleep, rock me to sleep
I wish I had my mother, I wish I had my father back
I wish I had my baby
I wish I had somebody to rock me to sleep
