Gillian Welch - Rock of Ages Lyrics

Round, round I wanna go round

wanna see the rock of ages

till my body gives out

gonna read those final pages



well, my mother was gone

she told me I would meet her

on those streets of gold

I'm going there to greet her



Once my father sat down

he told me of the prophets

Matthew, Mark Luke and John

they're gone but not forgotten



Moses heard a voice

it called him up the mountain

forty days had passed

'fore Moses came a shoutin'
