Al Stewart - Rocks In The Ocean

Al Stewart

Rocks In The Ocean

On a night just like this, in a place far away
He met with a giri in the spring
And something about him just turned her around
As though she were caught on a string
And being so young they held on to each other
To see what the moment might bring
He loved her then in a secretive way
Not showing his care or his need
She stayed beside him and looked to the day
He would somehow begin to be free
In the chill of the night she would hold him and say
This is how they always should be

Rocks in the ocean, waves on the sea
Keep it in mind,
If love comes unsatisfied, don't forget me
Don't forget me

And so he come to depend on her more
Though the lesson was still to be learned,
Taking for granted the gift that she gave
As though it were something he'd earned
And she for her part growing slowly away
From a love that was never returned
Then came the day that he never foresaw
When he woke to find she was gone
He followed her then to the ends of the world
To tell her how much he'd been wrong
But the more he called her, the more she was lost
Leaving only the words of her song

Rocks in the ocean, waves on the sea
Keep it in mind,
If love comes unsatisfied, don't forget me
Don't forget me

He still listens out for her foot on the stair
As he looks for her down through the years
And the friends that he had have all left one by one
For their words weren't reaching his ears
He chooses instead now to wander alone
To a song that only he hears

Rocks in the ocean, waves on the sea
Keep it in mind,
If love comes unsatisfied, don't forget me
Don't forget me

Mirror lyrics:

Don't forget me
If love comes unsatisfied, don't forget me
Keep it in mind,
Rocks in the ocean, waves on the sea

To a song that only he hears
He chooses instead now to wander alone
For their words weren't reaching his ears
And the friends that he had have all left one by one
As he looks for her down through the years
He still listens out for her foot on the stair

Don't forget me
If love comes unsatisfied, don't forget me
Keep it in mind,
Rocks in the ocean, waves on the sea

Leaving only the words of her song
But the more he called her, the more she was lost
To tell her how much he'd been wrong
He followed her then to the ends of the world
When he woke to find she was gone
Then came the day that he never foresaw
From a love that was never returned
And she for her part growing slowly away
As though it were something he'd earned
Taking for granted the gift that she gave
Though the lesson was still to be learned,
And so he come to depend on her more

Don't forget me
If love comes unsatisfied, don't forget me
Keep it in mind,
Rocks in the ocean, waves on the sea

This is how they always should be
In the chill of the night she would hold him and say
He would somehow begin to be free
She stayed beside him and looked to the day
Not showing his care or his need
He loved her then in a secretive way
To see what the moment might bring
And being so young they held on to each other
As though she were caught on a string
And something about him just turned her around
He met with a giri in the spring
On a night just like this, in a place far away
