Rockabye Revelations: Unveiling Life's Promises and Lies
Lyrics
Put pen to the paper and sign
Signing a document or making a commitment in writing.
The lines on both sides of your hand I can read What settles out at the bottom of a bottle of wine Are promises and lies you can choose to believe
Ability to understand someone deeply, possibly referring to palmistry.
When rumors won't leave you alone Your words cast a shadow, try to fill in their form Lay your hat on the table, I'll take your side The mirror allows what the darkness divides
Dealing with the consequences of one's actions, with alcohol representing both promises and lies.
You'll never tell all that you know In spite of the shelter the storm still will blow
Keeping secrets despite seeking refuge from life's challenges.
Through the pastures of safety may you plow the straight line
Navigating life's challenges straightforwardly.
Walk slow, with a swing in, the river will rise
Advice to take things slowly, facing challenges calmly.
Pass under my window and wave Sirens yell at each other, I don't hear your name Spin hard in a circle if you want to go down Sing praises to the neighbor who is tending that ground
Observing chaos around, remaining oblivious to personal concerns.
Rockabye, there'll be a blanket to cover you When you go down
Assurance of comfort and protection during difficult times.
Rockabye, there'll be a blanket to cover you When you go down
Reiteration of the promise of comfort and protection.
What you learn from the bottle is true One is too many and two are too few Line up the small glasses, tell me what have you heard There's not a thing to laugh about tonight in this world
Learning from life experiences, with caution about the dangers of excessive indulgence.
You made me call all over town
Seeking support or assistance from others.
You're easy to lose when you want to be found
Being elusive and difficult to find when desired.
I remember a room lit by one brilliant light
Recalling a specific memory or moment illuminated by a single source of light.
Throw the windows wide open, we'll sit in the dark tonight
Embracing darkness and solitude, possibly for introspection.
Rockabye, there'll be a blanket to cover you
Reassuring the availability of support and comfort during challenging times.
When you go down Rockabye, there'll be a blanket to cover you When you go down
Repetition of the assurance of comfort and protection.
Put pen to the paper and sign
Repeating the theme of signing a commitment or document.
The lines on both sides of your hand I can read What settles out at the bottom of a bottle of wine Are promises and lies that you can choose to believe
Reiterating the ability to understand someone deeply through palmistry, and the duality of promises and lies.
