Rock & Sand
words and music by Rosemarie Austin
words and music by Rosemarie Austin
A rock is a rock and a sand is sand
One you can hold and one that slips through your hand
It’s got me thinking ‘bout what love demands
To be strong as a rock, oh but gentle as sand
Albert is teaching his son to ride a bike
He’s been waiting for this moment a real long time
Taking tumble after tumble the tears are the only things flying
Whispers in his son’s ear, “I love you for trying”
A rock is a rock and a sand is sand
One you can hold and one that slips through your hand
It’s got me thinking ‘bout what love demands
To be strong as a rock, oh but gentle as sand
Catherine is having a nervous breakdown
And you know the eyes of the town are upon her now
Her sister prays for good friends
Ones that will see her to a new beginning
Take some time to find out what love is
A place you can hitch your hopes onto
Never to fear or disappoint us
Looking for someone to grow old with
Someone who drinks deep like a tree planted by water
Knows the way to paradise in this life
And who is willing to love me through all of my tomorrows
Take some time to find out what love is
A place you can hitch your hopes onto
Never to fear or disappoint us
A rock is a rock and a sand is sand
One you can hold and one that slips through your hand
It’s got me thinking ‘bout what love demands
To be strong as a rock, oh but gentle as sand
