Jerry

Do you hear the wind a howling?

I saved my lonely porcelain doll

Do you hear the panther prowling

Wherever he wants

I can't give no more, I can't give no more



Just rocking to a lullaby

Dreams I thought would never pass me by

Is nothing more and nothin' less

Than a search for somethin' effortless



And when we find it in the open air

And when we breathe it in a strangers dare

It's nothing more and nothin' less

Than a search for somethin' effortless



Oh the cries are growing louder

Do they hear

Only when it's tuning and it's already tuning

We're just rocking to a lullaby

Dreams I thought would never pass us by



It's nothing more and nothing less

Than a search for something effortless

And when we find it in the open air

And when we breathe it in a strangers dare

It's nothing more and nothing less

Than a search for something effortless



And I don't cry for myself and I don't cry

Don't cry for you, I cry for the life of another

Someone I hardly knew, a man I never knew

Just rocking to a lullaby



Dreams I thought would never pass us by

It's nothing more and nothing less

Than a search for something effortless

And when we find it in the open air

And when we breathe it in a strangers dare

It's nothing more and nothing less

Than a search for something effortless
