Solid Rock
|
(Mark Knopfler)
|
|
Well take a look at that
|
I made a castle in the sand
|
Saying this is where it's at you know
|
Couldn't understand now
|
If I realised that the chances were slim
|
How come I'm so surprised when the tide rolled in
|
|
I wanna live on solid rock
|
I'm gonna live on solid rock
|
I wanna give I don't wanna be blocked
|
I'm gonna live on solid rock
|
|
Well I'm sick of potential
|
I'm sick of vanity now
|
I'm sticking to essential reality now
|
I don't know what's worse
|
Try to make a silk purse
|
Living an illusion living in confusion
|
|
Well a house of cards
|
Was never built for shock
|
You could blow it down in any kind of weather
|
Now two solid rocks two solid blocks
|
You know they're gonna stick
|
Yeah they're gonna stick together
|
|
Because the heart that you break
|
That's the one that you rely on
|
The bed that you make
|
That's the one you gotta lie on
|
When you point your finger cos your plan fell through
|
You got three more fingers pointing back at you
|
|
I wanna live on solid rock
|
I'm gonna live on solid rock
|
I wanna give I don't wanna be blocked
|
I'm gonna live on solid rock
|
I'm solid rock now
|
