the rocks remain
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.
