Michael Tomlinson - Rocks And Water Lyrics
In the world I knew where I grew upI strayed off on my own too muchI watched those children running in the distanceOh the things I dreamed in prairie dustThe Texas wind blew off in gustsThe Melodies called down for me to listenThey said"You need to feel the rain"Well I watched that sunrise many daysAnd look out on the golden plainsSomething told me, son there are no limitsWell I held that memory close to meI always dreamed that I'd be freeI never knew how long it'd take to get there"You need to hold your faith"But now I know you, you know meSo tell me what are we doing not living freeWe're never given love to hold us backBut no, it's even more than thatWe've got to treat each other with respectFocus all the love that we have leftJust a fragment of the whole, I knowBut it is possible to take it all awayIn an older time when I awokeBoyhood dreams were all in smokeHad I not even noticed what was missing?Well I let this living make me hardAnd then I learned to stay on guardThe Melodies cried down for me to listenThey said"You need to know the rocks and the waterYou need to lay in those leavesYou need to feel the swaying seasYou need to feel the touch of a loverYou need to know her needsYou need to set your real love free"But now I know you, you know meSo tell me what are we doing not living freeWe're never given love to hold us backBut no, it's even more than thatWe've got to treat each other with respectFocus all the love that we have leftJust a fragment of the whole, I knowBut it is possible to take it all awayI believe that it's possible to take it all the wayIn the world I knew where I grew upI strayed off on my own too much
