Rocks & Rusty Nails (words & music by Roy Evan Burstiner)
I’m walking thru the land of the lions
til the sun goes down.
Sneeking thru the darkend railroad
til I’m lost and found
On my hands & knees I’m praying
by the waters of the far gone sail
Casting out the chill of the moon in the
rocks and rusty nails
In the empty bottles scattered
in the rain and fire
All the secret dreams are twisted
as they all expire
In the pocket of of your thoughts
the losers fill the void
In the distance a woman is crying
for her long lost boy
Fill the pail of reason lightly
When the answers fail
Lost in all the rubble and the hiding in the
rocks & rusty nails
I’m walking down the land of the lions
with their razor claws
Sailor sleeping by his whiskey
in the shadow of the beaten door
I’ll drink to your health if you drink to mine
as our plans will all prevail
In the dusty winds we’ll find out the answers in the rocks and rusty nails
