In Rocking Chairs And Cups Of Tea

Words and Music: Carl J. Webley

Early morning winter thaw to the jetty pass the store
The old man is on the balcony
Seated there all by himself with Grandma's preserving jars and spells
In rocking chairs and cups of tea

He is watching you and I with wild grimace glarey eye
Just to see what he could see
He is watching you and I with wild grimace glarey eye
Jealousy is all he could see

Come again yeah, sorry my friend could not quite hear
Just like the old man and the sea

He is watching you and I with wild grimace glarey eye
Just to see what he could see
He is watching you and I with wild grimace glarey eye
Jealousy is all he could see

Seated there all by himself with Grandma's preserving jars and spells
In rocking chairs and cups of tea
"Three times your age am I" he said, "and still you have my eyes,
pull up a chair and talk to me"
He is watching you and I with wild grimace glarey eye
Jealousy is all he could see
In rocking chairs and cups of tea
Pull up a chair and talk to me
In rocking chairs and cups of tea
Where talk is of the way we used to be
In rocking chairs and cups of tea
