MISTER ROCK OF AGES
(Gordon Lightfoot)
As recorded Gordon Lightfoot 1980
Mister Rock of Ages you got time on your hands
Got no worries, got no plans.
Bless my soul now you're doin' fine
You ain't got no axe to grind.
Rock of Ages tell me where does it stand
Are we bound for the promised land.
Bless my soul, I ain't ready to die
And my future is in your hands.
Mister Rock of Ages you've been going on strong
Since time began, 'til time is done
And so the tide shall run.
Mister Rock of Ages tell me what do you see
Are we bound for eternity.
Bless my soul, baby you're doing fine
You ain't got no axe to grind.
Rock of Ages you've got nothing to hide
Got no ego, got no pride.
Bless my soul, let me do what I can
For my future is in your hands.
Mister Rock of Ages, the lord of my lease
In times of toil and times of peace
Until my song shall cease.
(bridge)
Mister Rock of Ages, I'm a part of you now
I am yours, you belong to me.
Bless my soul, let me do what I can
For my future is in your hands.
