Rockabye - Henry Gallagher

She works the nights by the water

She's gonna stress so far away

From her father's daughter

She just wants a life for her baby

All on her own no one will come

She's got to save him

She tells him

Oh love no one's ever gonna hurt you love

I'm gonna give you all of my love

Nobody matters like you

She tells him

Your life ain't gonna be nothing like my life

You're gonna grow and have a good life

I'm gonna do what I've got to do

So rockabye baby rockabye

I'm gonna rock you

Rockabye baby don't you cry

Single mama you doing out there

Facing the hard life without no fear

Just so you know that you really care

Cause any obstacle come you're well prepared

No mama you never shed tear

You have to shed things year after year

You give the youth love beyond compare

You find his school fee and the bus fare

Mmm marie the paps' disappear

In the round back can't find him nowhere

Steadily you work flow everything you know

You know say you nuh stop the time fi a jear

Now she got a six year old

Trying to keep him warm

Trying to keep out the cold

When he looks in her eyes

He don't know he is safe

When she says

Oh love no one's ever gonna hurt you love

I'm gonna give you all of my love

Nobody matters like you
