INDIGO GIRLS - rock me on the water lyrics

rate me

oh people

look around you

the signs are everywhere

you've left it for somebody other than you

to be the one to care

you're lost inside your houses

and there's no time to find you now

well your walls are turning

your towers are burning

gonna leave you here

and try to get down to the sea somehow

the road is filled with 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 have some thought

that's gonna pull them through somehow

while the fires are raging hotter and hotter

the sisters of the sun are gonna

rock me on the water now

rock me on the water

sister will you soothe my fevered brow

rock me on the water

i'll get down the sea somehow

oh people

look among you

it's there your hope must lie

there's a seabird above you

gliding in one place

like jesus in the sky

we all must do the best we can

and then hang on the that gospel plow

when my life is over

gonna stand before the father

and the sisters of the sun are gonna

rock me on the water now

rock me on the water

sister will you soothe my fevered brow

rock me on the water

maybe i'll remember

maybe i'll remember how

rock me on the water

i said the wind is with me now

so rock me on the water

i'll get down the sea somehow

rock me on the water

sister will you soothe my fevered brow

rock me on the water

i'll get down the sea somehow
