Lyrics by Geoff Matthews

A ROCK IN YOUR RIVER

VERSE

You may think it’s easy.

And for some of us this is true.

But when you talk about me.

There’s a different point of view.

I’m always stepping sideways.

While others’ look ahead.

So I don’t have to think or care.

About things I did and said.

PRE CHORUS

Will you take this advice,

Don’t you roll that dice.

Cos things won’t turn out right,

Or just the way you figure.

CHORUS

When I’m a rock in your river,

I’m a taker not a giver.

An anecdote stuck in your throat,

Some post you can’t deliver.

Well I’m a rock in your river,

Don’t lay it all down on the line.

Then things you want might work out,
Just the way they should.

VERSE

You can cry and you can scream,

Yes you can spit and curse.

Tell your friends about the dream,

The bubble that was burst.

But you don’t have an alibi,

The blame ain’t at my door.

I gave you every reason,

To paddle another shore.

PRE CHORUS

I said take this advice,

Don’t you roll that dice.

Cos things won’t turn out right,

Or just the way you figure.

CHORUS

When I’m a rock in your river,

I’m a taker not a giver.

An anecdote stuck in your throat,

Some post you can’t deliver.

Well I’m a rock in your river,

Don’t lay it all down on the line.

Then things you want might work out,
Just the way they should.

BRIDGE

They say diversity is the spice of life,

And that opposites attract.

They say we made it to the Moon,

Well I don’t buy into that.

And if you want it bad enough,

Then it will just come true.

But i’ve got a ceiling on my expectations,

And windows I just won’t look through. (2)

CHORUS (2)
