Rocking Chair - Fran Healy

Sitting in my rocking chair

Grandchildren everywhere

I remember Reagan

I remember Nixon

I remember Fred Astaire

Windows of the world collide

Save me from the world inside

Bending in the winds of time

Windows of the world

Open up my eyes

Clinging to a memory

Tossed upon the cruelest sea

All the tea in China

Or the ocean liner

Couldn’t bring them back to me

Windows of the world divide

Staring at the rising tide

Where did all the time go by

Windows of the world

Teach me how to fly

Sitting in my rocking chair

Hand brushing through my hair

You could be my father

You could be my brother

You could be the love affair

Windows of the world collide

Save me from the world outside

Dissolve me in the air tonight

Windows of the world

Set my eyes alight
