Rocks of Time
Held a crying babe in the dead of the night
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, how 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
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, how 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
