Deb Talan - Rocks and Water lyrics

rate me

Seven times I went down

Six times I walked back

And I don't fear the dark anymore

'Cause I'm become all that

I will be rocks, I will be water

I will leave this to my daughter:

Lift your head up in the wind

When you feel yourself grow colder

Wrap the night around your shoulders

And I will be with you even then

Even when I cannot see your face anymore

Don't forget the time

I wooed him with red wine

The devil he wore such a fine, fine shirt

And it stayed so clean while he dragged me through the dirt

Now, honey, don't trust anyone who looks you in the eye

Don't take any kindness, it's a demand in disguise

I have seen such things child

On this, and the other side

Words cannot show you

The midnight owl it does not know you

You will see for your sweet self

By and by

And I will be rocks, I will be water

I will leave this to my daughter
