Solid Rock — текст песни (Mark Knopfler)

Well take a look at that

I made a castle in the sand

Saying this is where its at you know

Couldnt understand now

If I realised that the chances were slim

How come Im so surprised when the tide rolled in



I wanna live on solid rock

Im gonna live on solid rock

I wanna give I dont wanna be blocked

Im gonna live on solid rock



Well Im sick of potential

Im sick of vanity now

Im sticking to essential reality now

I dont know whats worse

Try to make a silk purse

Living an illusion living in confusion



Well a house of cards

Was never built for shock

You could blow it down in any kind of weather

Now two solid rocks two solid blocks

You know theyre gonna stick

Yeah theyre gonna stick together



Because the heart that you break

Thats the one that you rely on

The bed that you make

Thats the one you gotta lie on

When you point your finger cos your plan fell through

You got three more fingers pointing back at you



I wanna live on solid rock

Im gonna live on solid rock

I wanna give I dont wanna be blocked

Im gonna live on solid rock

Im solid rock now
