Rock Pools

(album: Tomorrow Again - 2020)

Roll like thunder shake these walls, my darling
Run til your feet won't go
Show me up on the bus with your black soles
Catching your sunshine like a sneeze tearing through me
Alert flashes on my screen
Reminds me I can breathe
A leap beyond the pale
A place for critters washed in waves
Everybody craves to know they're going somewhere
Contained and safe in shallow little rock pools, rock pools
Rock pools
Rock pools
Rock pools
Rock pools
Rock pools
Rock pools
Rock pools
Rock pools

See you see me talking to myself again
Now I'm wondering what you think you know
Gathered up from the threads that I wove into
Tales I told all full of holes just because
They all seemed to lap it up
Til the wolf came to call my bluff
An early morning cry
A river view stuck in my eye
Everybody told me you were all mine, all mine
I had to get to know you, to know you, to know you
I had to get to know you, to know you, to know you
Cos words could never tell it so true so true
Just playing in your rock pools, your rock pools
Rock pools
Rock pools
Rock pools
Rock pools
Rock pools
Rock pools
Rock pools
Rock pools

Crossed my borders back to old ideas
To fall with the ebb and flow
And offer a smile as they come and go
Watching your jelly shoes take root
Now we're panning for gold here
Perfect for passing on
Your turn won't take long
A leap beyond the pale
A place for critters washed in waves
Everybody craves to know they're going somewhere
Contained and safe in shallow little rock pools, rock pools
Rock pools
Rock pools
Rock pools
Rock pools
Rock pools
Rock pools
