Rock This Baby to Sleep

I took a walk through Central Park The trees were sleeping in the sun I saw the couples lying on the grass But you were not with me I passed a wedding by the lake There was a bagpiper piping There were three too many bridesmaids But you were not with me I want things back the way they were I want things back the way they were I want to rock this baby to sleep There are twelve hours in a day But over fifty in a night I live inside this hot and restless brain When you are not with me I want things back the way they were I want things back the way they were I want to rock this baby to sleep If I can’t have what I want Dear god, let me want what I have
