I'd move to Rockferry, Tomorrow And I'd build my house, baby With sorrow I'd leave my shadow, To fall behind And I wouldn't write to you Cause I'm not that kind The midnight trains are boarding All wrap up 8s I pick my load and I fill my truck Before it?s too late I leave the stars to judge My every move I'm not going to think of you, oh I'd get the blues There's no sleep on the journey Away from time A bag of songs and a heavy heart Won't make me down I'll give it all my strength and my mind I'll make this decision with or without I'd move to Rockferry, Tomorrow And I'd build my house, baby With sorrow I'd leave my shadow, To fall behind And I wouldn't write to you Cause I'm not that kind Not that kind Rockferry, not that kind Rockferry...
