[Vesre 1]
All I can hear are the crickets
And the whistle from some lonely freight
I've been working so hard to make everything right
But for now it'll just have to wait

[Chorus]
Because tonight I'd like you to rock me to sleep
I'd like you to sing me a song
I'm tired of trying to figure things out
And I'm tired of being so strong

[Verse 2]
I've never been too good at asking
I'm more apt to do it alone
And it's strange how a lot of us think something's wrong
If we can't do it all on our own

[Chorus]
Because tonight I'd like you to rock me to sleep
I'd like you to sing me a song
I'm tired of trying to figure things out
And I'm tired of being so strong

[Verse 3]
It's funny how times when your hurting
Make what's so familiar seem strange
And when you need help, it's hardest to ask
And it always takes so long to change
