This house on the rocks I build it for you Sometimes in the darkness I see you walk through No bricks, no mortar, just windows all through This house on the rocks I build it for you This hill by your house I will wait there for you I don't like the hill but I know you pass through The wind and rainfall often gave me a fly But I never gave in; I never withdrew This scotch on the rocks And sit here for hours enjoying the view Sometimes you're with strangers, sometimes in the news And I raise my glass in a silence salute Did every architect dream of a girl Did he want to put a shell around a pearl And I don't even know if you know my name But I took my diploma with only one aim This house on the rocks that I build for you The only good thing that I ever did you You never noted that shy boy school This house on the rocks, he build it for you This house on the rocks, I build it for you This house on the rocks, I build it for you This house on the rocks, I build it for you This house on the rocks, I build it for you This house on the rocks, I build it for you
