Rock in the River by Chatham County Line Lyrics

Met her in the streetlight's amber glow
She taught me things I’d never known
You've thought that she was blind
To give me love so true and kind

Life's a rolling tide
So one day I left her side
And the heart that I couldn’t give her
Became another rock in the river

She put her pan beneath the cold
To sift through sand and rock for gold
A love that once held such a shine
She'd search her whole life for that mine

Life's a rolling tide
So one day I left her side
And the heart that I couldn't give her
Became another rock in the river

Left a card there by the stove
No words she didn't already know
One may find but not deserve
The love I could not frame in words
Life's a rolling tide
So one day I left her side
And the heart that I couldn't give her
Became another rock in the river
