Rock out on the Sea - Paul Kelly

Scissors and a whip and scalpel too

I gave you a gun and a bullet

A pot o' honey and my body all up to you

I told you, «Now we need an actor

And that’s you and you’re gonna write the play

Everything is on the table

You can play this anyhow, anyway»

Now my heart is just like a rock out on the sea

Now my heart is just like a rock out on the sea

You slipped across the border

From kind caress to cruel attack

You got no clue how you made it

Many roads lead there but, I tell you, none lead back

Oh, my heart is just like a rock out on the sea

Oh, my heart is just like a rock out on the sea

I came to you with my wounds a-weeping

I came to you looking for your eyes

You dropped your head, you couldn’t leave here quick enough

And went back to your not so brilliant disguise

Oh, my heart is just like a rock out on the sea

Oh, my heart is just like a rock out on the sea
