Noah is fixing the pump in the rain

We have a rocking chair

Each of us rocks his share

By the steamy kitchen window
Sometimes we do

At the woodlands and the grasslands and the badlands 'cross the river

Yes we always do

Come back to the stars

Sweet well water and pickling jars

We'll lend you the car

Rocking rhythms while they're waiting with the candle in the window
Sometimes we do

We wait for you
