"Rock Me On the Water" lyrics
"Rock Me On the Water"
(originally by Jackson Browne)
Oh people, look around you
The signs are everywhere
You've left it for somebody other than you
To be the one to care
You're lost inside your houses
There's no time to find you now
Your walls are burning and your towers are turning
I'm going to leave you here and try to get down to the sea somehow
The road is filled with homeless souls
Every woman, child and man
Who have no idea where they will go
But they'll help you if they can
But everyone must have some thought
That's going to pull them through somehow
Well the fires are raging hotter and hotter
But the sisters of the sun are gonna rock me on the water
Rock me, rock me on the water
Sister will you soothe my fevered brow
Rock me on the water (Rock me on the water)
I'll get down to the sea somehow
Oh people, look among you
It's there your hope must lie
There's a sea bird above you
Gliding in one place like Jesus in the sky
We all must do the best we can
And then hang on to that Gospel plow
When my life is over, I'm gonna stand there before the Father
But the sisters of the sun are gonna rock me on the water
Rock me on the water
Sister will you soothe my fevered brow
Rock me on the water
Maybe I'll remember
Rock me on the water, yeah (Rock me on the water)
The wind is with me now
So rock me on the water (Rock me on the water)
I'll get down to the sea somehow
Well now (Rock me on the water)
Rock me on the water (Rock me on the water)
Maybe I'll remember how, maybe
Rock me on the water (Rock me on the water)
You know the wind is with me now (Rock me on the water)
Yeah, you know the wind is with me now
Well, rock me (Rock me on the water)
Oh
