Story Behind The Song

Realisation of life's uncertainties and living with regret

Lyrics

Solid As A Rock

Solid as they come
Softly as it goes
Spinnin on the turn
are you friend or foe?
Losing all its meaning
Time alone will only show
Portraits of a life that's spent
never knowing when to come or go

Hard as solid rock
never knew it meant so much
One last time just hold the thought
Do I really want to know?
The mystery will haunt me
Time alone will surely tell
stories of a life once led
The messages never understood

So sell me, sell me
Things I cannot see
And haunt me, haunt me
Pray for things which cannot be
Till the day I want it
Moving closer and closer to me

So sell me, sell me
Things I cannot see

So sell me, sell me
Things I cannot see

So sell me, sell me
Things I cannot see
