"Rocks Of Time" lyrics

"Rocks Of Time"

Held a crying babe in the dead of the night
My back was breaking, my arms were on fire
Brother came and said, "You rest a while."

Down on the rocks of time
Down on the rocks of time

Back in those days the hours dragged by
The sun was a yellow slug in the sky
And in a flash six years passed by

Down on the rocks of time
Down on the rocks of time

Spring kept pushing up the green grass high
And up through the cracks in my pen lines
Love to a lover with puzzle piece eyes

Down on the rocks of time
Down on the rocks of time

I married a man in sands of white
Palm trees swaying in the tropical light
My feet were wet and my tears came bright

Down on the rocks of time
Down on the rocks of time

Saw a broken woman whose man and child
Swept away in a wave gone wild
The hands of fate drew a cruel, cruel line

Down on the rocks of time
Down on the rocks of time

My body kept burning up my tingling spine
My hair gone silver as the old starlight
My mask fell away look into my eyes

Down on the rocks of time
Down on the rocks of time

Held a crying babe in the dead of the night
My back was breaking, my arms were on fire
Then Brother came and said, "You rest a while."

Down on the rocks of time
Down on the rocks of time
Down on the rocks of time
Down on the rocks of time
