Linda Ronstadt - Rock Me On The Water Lyrics






Oh people look around you
The signs are everywhere
You left him for somebody other than you
To be the one to care

You're lost inside your houses
There's no time to find you now
Oh your walls are burning
And your towers are turning
I've gotta leave you here
And try to get down to the sea somehow

Rock me on the water
Sister won't you soothe my fevered brow
O-oh rock me on the water
Gotta get down to the sea somehow

The road is filled with homeless souls
Every woman child and man
Who have no idea where they will go
But they'll help you if they can

Now everyone must have some thought
That's gonna pull them through somehow
Well the fires are raging hotter and hotter
But the sisters of the sun
Are gonna rock me on the water now

Rock me on the water
Sister won't you soothe my fevered brow
O-oh rock me on the water
I gotta get down to the sea somehow

Oh people look among you
It's there your hope must lie
There's a seabird above you gliding in one place
Like Jesus in the sky
We all must do the best we can
And then hang onto that gospel cloud
When my life is over
Gonna stand for the father
But the sisters of the sun
Are gonna rock me on the water now

Rock me on the water
Sister won't you soothe my fevered brow
O-oh rock me on the water
Then maybe I'll remember
Maybe I'll remember how

Rock me on the water
The wind is with me now
O-oh rock me on the water
Gotta get down to the sea somehow
I gotta get down to the sea somehow

  1. G.... R....

    This is sung without the understanding and soul of Jackson Browne's original.

  2. J.... M....

    Love Ms. Linda Ronstadt, She is a Great Singer!!!

  3. A.... M....

    Beautiful!

  4. r.... ....

    Jerry Brown hit that ?

  5. M.... A....

    love this song but I've always wondered - just what is a "gospel plow" anyway?

    M.... A....

    It's from the Bible, gospel according to Luke.

    M.... A....

    Mark Anderson: Gospel Plow" (also known as "Hold On" and "Keep Your Hand on the Plow") is a traditional American folk song. It is listed in the Roud Folk Song Index, number 10075. The title is biblical, based on Luke 9:62.

  6. S.... S....

    Oh, Linda. I just love you so.

  7. t.... ....

    Its no wonder that Hank Williams Jr and Hoyt Axton fell in love with her.

  8. S.... S....

    I absolutely adore this song. I had this album when I was a kid, and I wore it slap out. I wish Linda would put her full albums on her Youtube channel. HInt hint. #youtube #lindaronstadt

  9. S.... H....

    I am a 54 year old woman who is still head over heels in LOVE with her, I still l still listen to all of her

    S.... H....

    Susan Howard

    I’m 35 and I love her too, I discovered her 10 years ago.

  10. B.... D....

    One of my favorite songs. Jackson Browne, Linda, and Johnny Rivers all do it great.

  11. M.... S....

    She’ll always be my favorite female singer.

  12. L.... M....

    My spirit animal

  13. f.... r....

    aint it the truth

  14. u.... ....

    I always liked this version over Jackson Browne's.

  15. H.... H....

    Early Linda with some fine back up. Henley and Mr. Frye are on this one. Linda was sublime.

  16. J.... A....

    Disease has silenced her but Linda can at least remember this masterpiece. I'm not religious but this song, and her treatment of it, makes me optimistic that maybe I'm wrong.

  17. C.... D....

    Demi Lovato looks like a young Linda Ronstadt

    C.... D....

    Chris Drummond

    I think Selena Gomez a little bit more

  18. E.... V....

    still have the lp!

  19. T.... D....

    beautiful woman, beautiful song

  20. J.... A....

    Linda took Jackson's idea 10X

  21. M.... H....

    I love you Linda !

  22. G.... P....

    Not a RAZOR LOVE and of course YOU OWE ME USA. and I INTEND TO COLLECT SINCE YOU ADMIT IT THAT YOU NEVER WOULD HAVE GOT THAT ONE OUT THIS TIME - THANKS

  23. d.... l....

    she will always be that hippie chick i loved when i was a hippie kid

    d.... l....

    What a beautiful memory that must be.

    d.... l....

    sandinyourshoes  It so is. And Jackson Browne made us hold our breath through entire songs.

    d.... l....

    daniel leary me too ✌🏽🎈

  24. S.... ....

    This song brings me a peace I rarely feel. I imagine myself on the PCH somewhere between Santa Monica and Oxnard. Well, hopefully I will having dinner at the Reel Inn in Malibu sometime soon.

  25. D.... P....

    Didn't know it at the time, but this album first time I had heard Glen & the boys.........A buddy of mine got this when it first came out.........when the first Eagles album came out later that year & I read the album liner notes, I remember recognizing the names of the players.

    D.... P....

    the only time i saw the Eagles was when they were Linda's backup band---at the Academy of Music I think it was

  26. t.... ....

    R.I.P. Glenn Frey.

  27. B.... O....

    Muscle Shoals.

  28. i.... d....

    I haven't heard this song for around thirty years but for some reason it's like I've heard it every day. Haunting, Brilliant

  29. s.... h....

    That's how Eagles were born.

  30. j.... ....

    I love this song!!!! Amazing!!!
