JACKSON BROWNE - Rock Me On The Water lyrics

rate me

Oh people, look around you<br>The signs are everywhere<br>You've left it for somebody other than you<br>To be the one to care<br>You're lost inside your houses<br>There's no time to find you now<br>Your walls are burning and your towers are turning<br>I'm going to leave you here and try to get down to the sea somehow<br><br>The road is filled with homeless souls<br>Every woman, child and man<br>Who have no idea where they will go<br>But they'll help you if they can<br>Now everyone must have some thought<br>That's going to pull them through somehow<br>Well the fires are raging hotter and hotter<br>But the sisters of the sun are going to rock me on the water now<br><br>Rock me on the water<br>Sister will you soothe my fevered brow<br>Rock me on the water<br>I'll get down to the sea somehow<br><br>Oh people, look among you<br>It's there your hope must lie<br>There's a sea bird above you<br>Gliding in one place like jesus in the sky<br>We all must do the best we can<br>And then hang on to that gospel plow<br>When my life is over, I'm going to stand before the father<br>But the sisters of the sun are going to rock me on the water now<br><br>Rock me on the water<br>Sister will you soothe my fevered brow<br>Rock me on the water, maybe I'll remember<br>Maybe I'll remember how<br>Rock me on the water<br>The wind is with me now<br>So rock me on the water<br>I'll get down to the sea somehow
