Rockabye Lyrics - Not So Soft - Ani Difranco

Tending the garden of noise 

When I grow the traffic 

And the church bells 

And the neighborhood boys 

Singing to myself 

As 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 till 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 

I left him too 

I left parts of me 

Singing rockabye 

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 have been 

It sounds like rockabye
