Floater Rocking Horse
Johnny rocks on his rocking horse
Dreaming of the day of the big divorce
Hoping somehow that everything will get better
Johnny turns up the music loud
Sings himself hoarse just to drown them out
She wants to leave, but they both know he won't let her
She's not gonna be brave
She's not gonna be to slow
To make her attack
When he starts showing his back like a fool yah
Been made to take all that she could
Mother and child, oh make their escape
Yah, they left him lying there in a dark pool of his own hate
There was no time to contemplate
In a house by the door, there's a rifle with a rusted sight
Taking aim, making sure, going to end it all tonight
He's the lamb with a loaded gun
Quietly beggin' her to get it done
She looks like a ghost but at least she's not weeping...
She's not gonna be brave
But she's not gonna be to slow
To make her attack
When he starts showing his back like a fool
Yah Oh
Been made to take al that she could
Mother and child oh make their escape
Oh yah
They left him lying there in a dark pool of his own hate
There was no time to contemplate
Red
Black
Faces that come undone
Beg
Plead
And then drop like setting suns
Compassion please
Not until she's
Been broken
Been broken
Oh now day after day learn to swallow down
Bite after bite of all the pride you can
She said, "keep your head when he comes
Bleed and suffering
Find freedom"
Compassion please not until she's
Been broken
Whisper:
It's ok
It's ok
It's ok
Everything is okay
Everything is okay
