Lightfoot Gordon The Soul Is The Rock Lyrics

The Soul Is The Rock Lyrics

The soul is the rock and the rock will not be moved

 Nothing is disputed, yet nothing is disproved

 And the seeds of the earth that were planted long ago

 Still yield a better harvest than the rock was prone to grow

 

 Say what you like to, do what you do

 Everyone's sleeping now two by two

 Bats in the roof, cats in the hall

 Dust on the stairway, gnats on the wall

 

 Big rain comin'

 Big rain comin' this way

 Rain on the rock

 Rain on the rock

 Rain on the rock

 

 The sea is the space which the rock has displaced

 The mind is some stranger that some soul has embraced

 And somewhere between, in a no-man's land of dreams

 The heart becomes the soldier yet the rock is not redeemed

 

 Say what you like to, do what you can

 Live like a sheep, die like a lamb

 Bats in the roof, cats in the hall

 Dust on the stairway, gnats on the wall

 

 Big rain comin'

 Big rain comin' this way

 Rain on the rock

 Rain on the rock

 Rain on the rock

 

 The soul is the rock and the rock will always roll

 In circles 'round the sun doing rings around the pole

 When the mind is not sure what the heart will do next

 The rock becomes the master and the road becomes what's left

 

 Late one night when the moon shone down

 We went to the mill on the edge of the town

 She wore white, I wore black

 The town was sleeping when we got back

 

 Big rain comin'

 Big rain comin' this way

 Rain on the rock

 Rain on the rock

 Rain on the rock

 

 The soul is the rock and the rock will not be harmed

 Though man must be cheated just as women must be charmed

 And the mind is the light for the heart which cannot see

 The soul becomes the stranger but the rock will always be

 

 Say what you like to, do what you do

 Everyone's sleeping now two by two

 Bats in the roof, cats in the hall

 Dust on the stairway, gnats on the wall

 

 Oh.. Big rain comin'

 Big rain comin' this way

 Rain on the rock

 Rain on the rock

 Rain on the rock

 

 The soul is the rock and the rock will not be moved

 Nothing is disputed yet nothing is disproved

 And the seeds of the earth that were planted long ago

 Still yield a better harvest than the rock was prone to grow

 

 And the seeds of the earth that were planted long ago

 Still yield a better harvest than the rock was prone to grow
