about

returning to a place from the past that no longer feels welcome and escaping within

lyrics

Row
©2001 Alice Bierhorst/BMI

Ghostly doll besieged with eyes
Room grows hot, you're paralyzed
You sink down
Spinning voices in the void
Whispering, you're paranoid
You sink down
Shove off into the water and ROW

CHORUS
Rock-a-bye the baby
Cut your engines, float downstream
Rock-a-bye the baby
Til you hear the mermaids sing

All around the past looms large
Rushing past like passing cars
Hallowed places now taboo
Doors once open close to you
You sink down
Shove off into the water and ROW

CHORUS

All your life you've been resigned
To the web of fate's design
Now a turning in the road
Leads you far from all you've known
You sink down
Shove off into the water and ROW

CHORUS
