The Rocks Remain - Horslips

Precious stones and stolen thrones vanish in a day

And your golden rings, your silver rings will crumble and decay

Silks and satins and crimson velvet will someday fade away

But the stones will stand across the land and love will have its day

Change will come to everyone, never question why

Sticks and stones will break your bones and words will make you cry

The sun will shiver, the moon will crumble and vanish from the sky

But the hills remain, love’s the same, love will never die

I can see the lights below us twinkle like the stars;

And I know they’re waiting patiently for the day to break again

Distant skies, different eyes, change has come so fast

Mother of pearl, distant girl clutches at the past

But in the sunset I see your eyes and they tell me nothing’s lost

While the rocks remain, loves the same, strong love, strong love,

strong love will last
