Rock of Ages

Carla Olson

Compositor: Carla Olson / Gene Clark / Michael Nold

Left Oklahoma and the empty sky
Too many chains on the mission bells there made me cry
Heard California was the rainbow’s end
City of Angels let the flowers bend
When all you need is love
Is all you need to know

Vagabond balladeers numbering five
Taking the best to be heard in the world of black and white
Taking the low road break from the pack
Making your own way, don’t look back
When all you need is yourself
It’s all you need to know

Rock of Ages, rise and fall
Final stages and curtain call
Rock of Ages, still waiting for
The world to listen now
But they don’t see him rolling anymore

Head in the clouds trough my pretty years
Carried the torch for the Passion play without fear
Suddenly my generation’s gone
Eager to please, put the new kid on
And all you need is a look
Is all you need to know
