Rocks of Time

[Verse 1]
Held a crying babe in the dead of the night
Back was breaking, my arms on fire
Brother came and said, "You rest a while"
Down on the rocks of time
Down on the rocks of time

[Verse 2]
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

[Verse 3]
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

[Verse 4]
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

[Verse 5]
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

[Verse 6]
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

[Verse 7]
Held a crying babe in the dead of the night
My back was breaking and 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
