On The Rocks

January goes round to find me
Alone in this place where I've been livin'
My real home lives down the river
Where she's makin' circles with her tears
And February blows even colder
And I'll send my love downstream
In words and verses in plastic boxes
She's still unready to take them
And they're bobbin underneath the bridges
Out to the ocean back...
Back on the rocks
And the rain came down back in December
When you told me you were driftin'
The waters rose while my door swung closed
On the circles that you lived in
You got so caught up in the swirls and eddies
You never saw where you were headin'
Oh you were bobbin' underneath the bridges
Out to the ocean and back...
Back on the rocks
Spring is only round the corner
As I'm writing you this final letter
I'll drop it in the cool green water
At the bridge where we jumped in together
And I hope it will be carried to you
And I'll sleep on the rocks beside
And I hope the words serve to remind you of
Someone you can leave behind
Someone you still hold inside
Someone who'll be waiting for you
To take me from this burning bridge
Before I end up back...
Back on the rocks
