Jens Lekman's Farewell Song To Rocky Dennis

Early September and the kids start school

Leaves are floating in the swimming pool

I wish I had a proper reason to cry

A reason not so abstract

More like a broken clause in a contract

All those things you're supposed to do

I could have done them if I had you

You could have made me a righteous citizen

I could have made all those right decisions

But now I don't know who my friend is

Can you tell me Rocky Dennis

Now I don't know who my friend is

Can you tell me Rocky Dennis

Mama told me I was born a lion

Mama told me I was born with a belly to lie on

Mama told me I was born a liar

Mama told me I was born with a heart to rely on

But now I don't know who my friend is

Can you tell me Rocky Dennis

Now I don't know who my friend is

Can you tell me Rocky Dennis

Can you tell me, can you tell me tonight ooh ooh

Ooh tonight

Can you tell me tonight
