Jens Lekman's Farewellsong 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
Oh, 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, oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
Oh, tonight
Can you tell me tonight?
