Robert Plant - Higher Rock Lyrics

Robert Plant Lyrics

"Higher Rock"

Mary weeped over me
Mary weeped over me
Turned on a dime, said to me
"When you reach for the higher rock
Then you reach for me"

Saul told Daniel, "Come play for me"
Saul told Daniel, "Come pray for me
Trouble in mind won't let me be
When you reach for the higher rock
Then you reach for me"

Rock in hand won't let you be
Rock in hand won't let you be
It's the open hand will set you free
When you reach for the higher rock
Then you reach for me

Coal man say he's got a deal for me
Coal man say he's got a deal for me
That black gold a-chokin' me
When you reach for the higher rock
Then you reach for me

Shackle and chain can't settle me
Shackle and chain can't settle me
Been strung up on a dogwood tree
When you reach for the higher rock
Then you reach for me

Gilded cage is a treachery
Gilded cage is a treachery
Heart of gold that holds the key
When you reach for the higher rock
Then you reach for me

When you reach for the higher rock
Then you reach for me
When you reach for the higher rock
Then you reach for me
