Gene Clark Rock Of Ages Lyrics

Rock Of Ages Lyrics

We stood there unable trying to keep warm 
To make the next town 
Oklahoma I will roam any direction from someone 
Too old to remember why he`s seen us that way 
 
Singing rock of ages when will you fall 
Turn the pages of history recalls 
In the mountain you revere 
Are too old to remember why they put us here 
 
Sing the hymns that when we were young 
Our battles tunes always sung 
Like Jesus loves me, I hold him dear 
But I don`t think He`s to old to know why we`re here 
 
 
Grandma Moses drew like a child 
All the changes of a country wild 
And her friends told her to sell what you do 
But she`s getting older to even remember was it true 
 
Rock of ages 
When will you crumble down to the sandy shore 
Is this all that we`re meant to do 
Just get older `til we don`t know why we`re here anymore 
 
And when you`ve already been 
Round the world that you want to do it again 
Rock of ages 
You`re getting old 
 
Old man Moses climbed the rock 
To get the tablets and the rules for us 
But when he returned down from the Mount 
All his people were in there so long they forgot what it was about 
 
Sing rock of ages and turn the pages 
And the redwoods they`re just agin` 
Sing rock of ages and he loves me 
But don`t get too old to still believe 
 
Sing rock of ages sing it strong 
To the wayward where others are 
And to hear you and your voices ring 
Lest you get too old and you forget how to sing 
 
Rock of ages rockin` rollin` 
Turn the pages you didn`t open 
Rock of ages you`ll always be 
Oh, get too old and crumblin` down to sand into the sea
