Waterboys, The - A Rock In A Weary Land

My love is my rock

In the long, low, weary land

Yes my love is my rock

In the long, low, weary land



None of this moves me,

I should be weeping but it only hurts when i yawn

I let it blow through me, and it's gone!

I'm dressed like a scarecrow

Stripped of all my power, as if some judge in judgement said

"off with his great coat, and his head!"



My love is my rock

In the long, low, weary land

My love is my rock

In the long, low, weary land

My love is my rock

In the long, low, weary land

My love is my rock

In the long, low, weary land



Meaningless movies

On the screen behind the band that's blowing flowing shapes

Half of their music is on tape

My mentor and champion is busy tilting at the windows of his stately home

The daemon he's grappling

Is his own!



My love is my rock

In the long, low, weary land

My love is my rock

In the long, low, weary land

My love is my rock

In the long, low, weary land

Yes my love is my rock

In the long, low, weary land



His letter lies open

His accusations flow like poison from his every word

My heart would be broken, but for her

The fag-end of winter

I'm in shock! i'm on the ropes! i don't know what's become!

She plucks the splinter from my thumb



My love is my rock

In the long, low, weary land

Yes my love is my rock

In the long, low, weary land

My love is my rock

In the long, low, weary land

My love is my rock

In the long, low, weary land



In the weary land!

My rock in a weary land

My rock in a weary land

My love is my rock in a weary land

My love is my rock in a weary land

In a weary land

Hey!

A rock in a weary land



A rock in a weary land

A rock in a weary land

My love is my rock in a weary land

My love is my rock in a weary land

My love is my rock is my rock in a weary land

My love is my rock is my love is my rock in a weary land

My love is my rock is my love is my rock in a weary land

My love is my rock is my love is my rock is my love is my rock is my love is my rock is my love is my rock is my love is my rock in a weary land

In a weary land!
