Labi Siffre Rocking Chair song lyrics

Rocking myself to sleep

In this rocking chair

Its easy to fall asleep

In the cool night air

Its been a hard day, a hard day

A little work at a little place

Rocking myself to sleep

In this rocking chair

Tryin' to count the sheep

In this cool night air

It's been a long time, a long time

I haven't had much peace of mind

Maybe I'll run away

Find myself a new life

I should have gone today

But I'd hate to leave my wife

(guitar solo)

Rocking myself to sleep

In this rocking chair

Thinkin' about my lady

Such a sad affair

She's in an institution in a bad way she tried to shoot me with a knife today
