Rock me on the water
But the sisters of the sun are gonna rock me on the water now
Now everyone must have some thought
The road is filled with homeless souls
Rock me on the water
Rock me on the water
Oh, people look among you
Rock me on the water
To be the one to care
Like Jesus in the sky
We all must do the best we can
Sister, will you soothe my fevered brow?
Who have no idea where they will go
It's there your hope must lie
Oh, your walls are burning and your towers are turning
And then hang onto that gospel cloud
Rock me now
Yeah, rock me on the water
The wind is with me now
Every woman child and man
I'll get down to the sea somehow
Rock me on the water
But they'll help you if they can
When my life is over, gonna stand for the father
Then maybe I'll remember, maybe I'll remember how
Sister, will you soothe my fevered brow?
I'll get down to the sea somehow
You left him for somebody other than you
Rock me on the water
There's a seabird above you gliding in one place
I said, "Rock me on the water"
Well the fires are raging hotter and hotter
That's gonna pull them through somehow
But the sisters of the sun are gonna rock me on the water now
You're lost inside your houses
I've gotta leave you here and try to get down to the sea somehow
There's no time to find you now
