Rocks Lyrics by Ryan Adams

Ashes & Fire

2011

[Verse 1]
Whatever it is you know you think you want
Here's a little something to light the way
Inside your heart where the darkness stays
I believe the sun still rises here but when it falls
I'm not sure what there is to say
Flickers in the night like a memory

[Chorus]
I am not rocks, I am not rain
I'm just another shadow in the stream
That's been washed away after all these years
I am not rocks in the river, I am bursting in tears for it
And the day is dawning

[Verse 2]
Whatever it is you wanted, I think you've got
But take a little something to light the way
Inside your mind when the weather is gray
I believe the sun still rises here but when it falls
There is something to be said for the calm at night
When the stars above are so cold and bright

[Chorus]
And I am not rocks, I am not rain
I'm just another shadow in the stream
That's been washed away after all these years
I am not rocks in the river, I am bursting in tears for it
And the day is dawning
And the day is dawning
