I'm in the process of counting sheep
But they're all so bloody
My hushed little baby still makes a peep
There's a ghost in the nursery
I'm haunted even when you’re never there
And I'm taunted by your teddy bear
Like it's talking and it's asking me
Why you never came home

I missed my shower
I miss your cradle
I miss your carriage
I miss carriage
I miscarriaged
Mi-miscarriaged
And you never came home

Back and forth
Back and forth
Move back and forth
Like a rocking horse
That rocking horse
That your daddy bought you
That you never saw
Goes back and forth
Back and forth
Back and forth
Move back and forth
Like a rocking horse
That rocking horse
That your daddy bought you
That you never saw
Goes back and forth

I'm in the process of apologies
There's a husband who doesn't know that I'm guilty
There's a hushed little secret inside of me
And a ghost in the nursery
Oh honey, you'll never see your son become a star
All the money you spent on that box of cigars
And I'm sorry, you never got to hand him
Ah, ah, ah, ah

This is for all the horses
Never gave him a horse
That never grew to be porches
This is for all divorces
That were caused by abortions
Babies having babies and babies having abortions

Back and forth
Back and forth
Move back and forth
Like a rocking horse
That rocking horse
That your daddy bought you
That you never saw
Goes back and forth
Back and forth
Back and forth
Move back and forth
Like a rocking horse
That rocking horse
That your daddy bought you
That you never saw
Goes back and forth

Rocking horse
Rocking horse
Oh
Back and forth
You never came home
Rocking horse
Rocking horse
Oh
Back and forth
And you never came home

Back and forth
Back and forth
Move back and forth
Like a rocking horse
That rocking horse
That your daddy bought you
That you never saw
Goes back and forth
Back and forth
Back and forth
Move back and forth
Like a rocking horse
That rocking horse
That your daddy bought you
That you never saw
Goes back and forth
