Rocky - Ben Folds

We were in a park

And I could jump so far

Seems that all I’d ever done

Were smoking pot out in the car

And this fear faded in

From my deputies in my old school

He says

«Ben, we both know you’re a saint

I’ve been running through these fields

It’s such a lovely place you drink

Is it your imagination

It’s been years since I’ve been on my feet?»

Now it’s Rocky’s day

And it’s on it’s way

Sun won’t be coming out today

Now it’s Rocky’s day

And it’s time he went away

Sun won’t be coming out today

Now I recall

But I don’t know who

Told me Rocky was a runner

Won a medal back in school

Now at Christmas Momma says

You go up in Rocky’s room

And as we watch the sun go down

He thanks me for my dreams

He says «I know you think you are

But you’re not completely free

The man who’s seen the spectre of the …

Completely free.»

Now it’s Rocky’s day

And it’s on it’s way

Sun won’t be coming out today

Now it’s Rocky’s day

And it’s on it’s way

Sun won’t be coming out today

Then he smiled

And he turned and walked away

He said over his shoulder

«I'll be gone when you’re awake.»

Now it’s Rocky’s day

And it’s on it’s way

Sun won’t be coming out today

Now it’s Rocky’s day

And it’s on it’s way

Sun won’t be coming out today
