Indigo Girls Rock Me On The Water Lyrics

Rock Me On The Water Lyrics

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
