I THOUGHT I HAD A ROCK

From Valerie & Walter Crockett's Emily's Angel on the Big Bark label.

Finders keepers, losers weepers
She found you and I can't sleep
Your loving her is misery for me

Sticks and stones may break my bones
But missing you when I get home
Hurts worse than all the words you've thrown at me

CHORUS:
I thought I had rock
Till it slipped out of my hand
Thought I held a heart of gold
I know I held a man
I thought we had a love
Until it vanished in thin air
And now the love is gone
The rock rolls on
And the heart don't seem to care

So here I sit on the edge of the bed
Singing nursery rhymes to a sleepy-head
Wondering how to tell him that you're gone

And all the king's horses, all the king's men
Couldn't put our love together again
I built it on a rock that's rolling on

REPEAT CHORUS

BRIDGE:
Wish I may, wish I might
Stop this crying through the night
The one I built my whole life on
Has slipped away, now he's gone

REPEAT CHORUS

And now the love is gone
The rock rolls on
And the heart don't seem to care
