The Soul Is The Rock Lyrics by Gordon Lightfoot

The Soul Is The Rock Lyrics

    The soul is the rock and the rock will not be moved
    Nothing is disputed, yet nothing is disproved
    And the seeds of the earth that were planted long ago
    Still yield a better harvest than the rock was prone to grow
    Say what you like to, do what you do
    Everyone's sleeping now two by two
    Bats in the roof, cats in the hall
    Dust on the stairway, gnats on the wall

    Big rain comin'
    Big rain comin' this way
    Rain on the rock
    Rain on the rock
    Rain on the rock

    The sea is the space which the rock has displaced
    The mind is some stranger that some soul has embraced
    And somewhere between, in a no-man's land of dreams
    The heart becomes the soldier yet the rock is not redeemed

    Say what you like to, do what you can
    Live like a sheep, die like a lamb
    Bats in the roof, cats in the hall
    Dust on the stairway, gnats on the wall

    Big rain comin'
    Big rain comin' this way
    Rain on the rock
    Rain on the rock
    Rain on the rock

    The soul is the rock and the rock will always roll
    In circles 'round the sun doing rings around the pole
    When the mind is not sure what the heart will do next
    The rock becomes the master and the road becomes what's left

    Late one night when the moon shone down
    We went to the mill on the edge of the town
    She wore white, i wore black
    The town was sleeping when we got back

    Big rain comin'
    Big rain comin' this way
    Rain on the rock
    Rain on the rock
    Rain on the rock

    The soul is the rock and the rock will not be harmed
    Though man must be cheated just as women must be charmed
    And the mind is the light for the heart which cannot see
    The soul becomes the stranger but the rock will always be

    Say what you like to, do what you do
    Everyone's sleeping now two by two
    Bats in the roof, cats in the hall
    Dust on the stairway, gnats on the wall

    Oh.. big rain comin'
    Big rain comin' this way
    Rain on the rock
    Rain on the rock
    Rain on the rock

    The soul is the rock and the rock will not be moved
    Nothing is disputed yet nothing is disproved
    And the seeds of the earth that were planted long ago
    Still yield a better harvest than the rock was prone to grow

    And the seeds of the earth that were planted long ago
    Still yield a better harvest than the rock was prone to grow
