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:
   'Cause 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
  
   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
  
   It's funny how times when your hurtin'
   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
  
   Chorus
