The Soul Is 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 |
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 |
