Rock Of Ages Lyrics
Gillian Welch
Round, round I wanna go round
wanna see the rock of ages
till my body gives out
gonna read those final pages
well, my mother was gone
she told me I would meet her
on those streets of gold
I'm going there to greet her
Once my father sat down
he told me of the prophets
Matthew, Mark Luke and John
they're gone but not forgotten
Moses heard a voice
it called him up the mountain
forty days had passed
'fore Moses came a shoutin'
