Rocks And Water Lyrics - Singles - Tomlinson Michael

In the world I knew where I grew up 

I strayed off on my own too much 

I watched those children running in the distance 

Oh the things I dreamed in prairie dust 

The Texas wind blew off in gusts 

The Melodies called down for me to listen 

They said 

"You need to feel the rain" 

Well I watched that sunrise many days 

And look out on the golden plains 

Something told me, son there are no limits 

Well I held that memory close to me 

I always dreamed that I'd be free 

I never knew how long it'd take to get there 

"You need to hold your faith" 

But now I know you, you know me 

So tell me what are we doing not living free 

We're never given love to hold us back 

But no, it's even more than that 

We've got to treat each other with respect 

Focus all the love that we have left 

Just a fragment of the whole, I know 

But it is possible to take it all away 

In an older time when I awoke 

Boyhood dreams were all in smoke 

Had I not even noticed what was missing? 

Well I let this living make me hard 

And then I learned to stay on guard 

The Melodies cried down for me to listen 

They said 

"You need to know the rocks and the water 

You need to lay in those leaves 

You need to feel the swaying seas 

You need to feel the touch of a lover 

You need to know her needs 

You need to set your real love free" 

But now I know you, you know me 

So tell me what are we doing not living free 

We're never given love to hold us back 

But no, it's even more than that 

We've got to treat each other with respect 

Focus all the love that we have left 

Just a fragment of the whole, I know 

But it is possible to take it all away 

I believe that it's possible to take it all the way 

In the world I knew where I grew up 

I strayed off on my own too much
