Linda Ronstadt - Rock Me on the Water lyrics

Oh people, look around you

The signs are everywhere

You left him for somebody other than you

To be the one to care

You're lost inside your houses

There's no time to find you now

Oh, your walls are burning

And your towers are turning

And I leave you here

And try to get down to the sea somehow

Rock me on the water

Sister won't you soothe my fevered brow

Oh, rock me on the water

I 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

Now everyone must have someone

That's gonna pull them through somehow

Well the fires are raging hotter and hotter

But the sisters of the sun

Are gonna rock me on the water now

Rock me on the water

Sister won't you soothe my fevered brow

Oh, rock me on the water

I get down to 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 onto that gospel cloud

When my life is over

Gonna stand for the Father

But the sisters of the sun

Are gonna rock me on the water now

Rock me on the water

Sister won't you soothe my fevered brow

Oh, rock me on the water

Then maybe I'll remember

Maybe I'll remember how

Rock me on the water

The wind is with me now

Oh, rock me on the water

I get down to the sea somehow

I get down to the sea somehow
