Black jet pink trail in a blue sky Bright star the first light The spark of a new night Tall tree cool wind in a slow dance Sun takes a last glance The brush of a soft hand On the rooftop time stops Red, and gold, and silver Fire burns and fades away And that old song plays on Colored by a memory Fire burns and fades away Pale moon climbs over the treeline Shines in your dark eyes The spark of a new night Blackbird cries out from the willow The smell of woodsmoke Calling you back home On the rooftop time stops Red, and gold, and silver Fire burns and fades away And that old song plays on Colored by a memory Fire burns and fades away Fire burns and fades away Fire burns and fades away Fire burns and fades away Fire burns and fades away Fire burns and fades away Fire burns and fades away

Stood there boldly, sweatin' in the Sun Felt like a million, felt like number one The height of summer, I'd never felt that strong Like a rock I was 18, didn't have a care Working for peanuts, not a dime to spare But I was lean and solid everywhere Like a rock My hands were steady, my eyes were clear and bright My walk had purpose, my steps were quick and light And I held firmly to what I felt was right Like a rock Like a rock, I was strong as I could be Like a rock, nothin' ever got to me Like a rock, I was something to see Like a rock And I stood arrow straight Unencumbered by the weight of all these hustlers and their schemes I stood proud, I stood tall High above it all I still believed in my dreams 20 years now, where'd they go? 20 years, I don't know I sit and I wonder sometimes Where they've gone And sometimes late at night Oh, when I'm bathed in the firelight The moon comes callin' a ghostly white And I recall, I recall Like a rock, standin' arrow straight Like a rock, chargin' from the gate Like a rock, carryin' the weight Like a rock Oh, like a rock, the sun upon my skin Like a rock, hard against the wind Like a rock, I see myself again Like a rock Oh, like a rock

Up and down And round and round Up and down And round and round Up and down And round and round Up and down And round and round Play me play me Like a yoyo Play me play me Like a yoyo Play me play me Like a yoyo Play me play me Like a yoyo Yoyo Yoyo Yoyo Yoyo Yoyo

One day, the strain I've never felt like this before Our lives, capsize, I've never been, before my God Why must you kneel for me? Instrumental I write for sight One day you'll find me in the corner More sublime But I still never died before Instrumental
