Oh, people look around you   The signs are everywhere   You left him for somebody other than you   To be the one to care      You're lost inside your houses   There's no time to find you now   Oh, your walls are burning   And your towers are turning   I've gotta leave you here   And try to get down to the sea somehow      Rock me on the water   Sister, won't you soothe my fevered brow   Ooh, rock me on the water   Gotta get down to the sea somehow      The road is filled with homeless souls   Every woman child and man   Who have no idea where they will go   But they'll help you if they can      Now everyone must have some thought   That's gonna pull them through somehow   Well, the fires are raging hotter and hotter   But the sisters of the sun   Are gonna rock me on the water now      Rock me on the water   Sister, won't you soothe my fevered brow   Ooh, rock me on the water   I gotta get down to the sea somehow      Oh, people look among you   It's there your hope must lie   There's a seabird above you gliding in one place   Like Jesus in the sky   We all must do the best we can   And then hang onto that gospel cloud   When my life is over   Gonna stand for the father   But the sisters of the sun   Are gonna rock me on the water now      Rock me on the water   Sister, won't you soothe my fevered brow   Ooh, rock me on the water   Then maybe I'll remember   Maybe I'll remember how      Rock me on the water   The wind is with me now   Ooh, rock me on the water   Gotta get down to the sea somehow   I gotta get down to the sea somehow
