Rocking Chair
The sidewalks are full of people
Yet the stars way up yonder mean more to her than all
Ancient spirits wondering
Why after centuries of wisdom, nothing's changed at all
Why do unanswered questions
Keep striking like lightning in a storm
Fallen leaves next to her coffee cup
One breath at a time, no one there for her to call
She's like a sailing ship from yesterday
Drifting to a new port somewhere
Lady across the street, I see her stare
Out in the night from her rocking chair
Holding a seashell to her ear
Listening to the eternal stream
She shuts off the world to hear
Her heart of hearts softly sing
She's like a sailing ship from yesterday
Drifting to a new port somewhere
Lady across the street, I see her stare
Out in the night from her rocking chair
Thousands of stars on her right
Thousands of stars on her left
Longing to know their secrets
Before the dawn wakes from its rest
Thousands of stars on her right
Thousands of stars on her left
Longing to know their secrets
Before the dawn wakes from its rest
She's like a sailing ship from yesterday
Drifting to a new port somewhere
Lady across the street, I see her stare
Out in the night from her rocking chair
She's like a sailing ship from yesterday
Drifting to a new port somewhere
Lady across the street, I see her stare
Out in the night from her rocking chair
Yet the stars way up yonder mean more to her than all
Ancient spirits wondering
Why after centuries of wisdom, nothing's changed at all
Why do unanswered questions
Keep striking like lightning in a storm
Fallen leaves next to her coffee cup
One breath at a time, no one there for her to call
She's like a sailing ship from yesterday
Drifting to a new port somewhere
Lady across the street, I see her stare
Out in the night from her rocking chair
Holding a seashell to her ear
Listening to the eternal stream
She shuts off the world to hear
Her heart of hearts softly sing
She's like a sailing ship from yesterday
Drifting to a new port somewhere
Lady across the street, I see her stare
Out in the night from her rocking chair
Thousands of stars on her right
Thousands of stars on her left
Longing to know their secrets
Before the dawn wakes from its rest
Thousands of stars on her right
Thousands of stars on her left
Longing to know their secrets
Before the dawn wakes from its rest
She's like a sailing ship from yesterday
Drifting to a new port somewhere
Lady across the street, I see her stare
Out in the night from her rocking chair
She's like a sailing ship from yesterday
Drifting to a new port somewhere
Lady across the street, I see her stare
Out in the night from her rocking chair
