Seven times I went down
Six times I walked back
And I don't fear the dark anymore
'Cause I'm become all that
[Chorus]
I will be rocks, I will be water
I will leave this to my daughter:
Lift your head up in the wind
When you feel yourself grow colder
Wrap the night around your shoulders
And I will be with you even then
Even when I cannot see your face anymore
Don't forget the time
I wooed him with red wine
The devil he wore such a fine, fine shirt
And it stayed so clean while he dragged me through the dirt
Now, honey, don't trust anyone who looks you in the eye
Don't take any kindness, it's a demand in disguise
[Chorus]
I have seen such things child [x2]
On this, and the other side
Words cannot show you
The midnight owl it does not know you
You will see for your sweet self
By and by
[Chorus]
And I will be rocks, I will be water
I will leave this to my daughter
