It may have been an hour since the final few goodbyes
But, believe me boys, I'm still rocking,
It's mainly manifested in my ears and through my eyes
But, believe me boys, I'm still rocking,
And I'm sure that I'll be swaying in my sleep tonight,
Now I've the silence and the space to do so,
And I can't drift away after a day like today,
'Cos I just keep on right on rocking,
I may be back at home with solid surface all around
But, believe me girls, I'm still going,
And it's gonna be a while before I step off solid ground
But, believe me girls, I'm still going,
And I'm sure that I'll be swaying in my sleep tonight,
Now I've the silence and the space to do so,
And I can't drift away after a day like today,
'Cos I just keep on right on rocking.
