Jackson Browne
Rock Me on the Water
[Verse 1]
Oh, people look around you
The signs are everywhere
You'd love 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
While your walls are burning and your towers are turning
I'm gonna leave your here and try to get back to the sea somehow
The road is filled 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 some thought that's gonna pull them through somehow
[Pre-Chorus 1]
While the fires are reaching hotter and hotter
But the sisters of the sun are gonna rock me on the water now
[Hook]
Rock me on the water, sister will you soothe my fever now
Rock me on the water, I'll get back to the sea somehow
[Verse 2]
Old people look among you
It's there your hope must lie
There's a seabird gliding above you in one place, like Jesus in the sky
We all must do the best we can and then hang on to that gospel plow
[Pre-Chorus 2]
When my life is over and I'm standing before the Father and the sisters of the sun are gonna rock me on the water now
[Hook]
Rock me on the water, sister will you soothe my fever now
Rock me on the water, maybe I'll remember, maybe I'll remember now
Rock me on the water, the wind is with me now
Rock me on the water, I'll get back to the sea somehow
[Hook]
Rock me on the water, rock me now
Rock me on the water, I'll get back to the sea, I'll get back to the sea somehow
[Hook]
Rock me on the water, rock me now
Rock me on the water, rock me now
Rock me on the water, I'll get back to the sea, I'll get back to the sea somehow
Rock me on the water, rock me now
