You And Me On The Rock lyrics

They build wooden houses on frozen ponds

In the summertime when the water's gone

Diagonal lines in their rolled-out lawns

And the sage always smells so pretty

But nobody cares where the birds have gone

When the rain comes down on Babylon

The stonemason's phone rings all day long

And you gotta get back to the city

I build my house up on this rock, baby

Every day with you

There's nothin' in that town I need

After everything we've been through

Me out in my garden and you out on your walk

Is all the distance this poor girl can take

Without listenin' to you talk

I don't need their money, baby

Just you and me on the rock

You and me on the rock

I built paper planes when I learned to fly

Like a 747 fallin' out of the sky

I folded 'em crooked and now I'm wonderin' why

I could always end up in the water

But nobody's askin' why she lookin' so thin

Why she's laughin' too hard, why she drinkin' again

A falling star, she's a paper plane

And she was goin' down when you caught her

I build my house up on this rock, baby

Every day with you

There's nothin' in that town I need

After everything we've been through

Me out in my garden and you out on your walk

Is all the distance this poor girl can take

Without listenin' to you talk

I don't need their money, baby

Just you and me on the rock

It's an earthquake, it's a hard wind

It's a record-breakin' tide and it is rollin' in

It's a big sea, but it can't touch you and me

It's just a water view

And what a view

I don't need their money, baby

Woo

I build my house up on this rock, baby

Every day with you

There's nothin' in that town I need

After everything we've been through

Me out in my garden and you out on your walk

Is all the distance this old girl can take

Without listenin' to you talk

I don't need their money, baby

Just you and me on the rock

I don't need their money, baby (I don't need their money, baby)

Just you and me on the rock (Just you and me on the rock)

You and me on the rock
