They build wooden houses on frozen ponds
In the summertime when the water´s gone
Diagonal lines in their rolled-out lawns
And the sage always smells so pretty
But nobody cares where the birds have gone

When the rain comes down on Babylon
The stone mason´s phone rings all day long
And you gotta get back to the city

I´ll build my house up on this rock, baby
Every day with you
There´s nothin´ in that town I need
After everything we´ve been through
Me out in my garden and you out on your walk
Is all the distance this poor girl can take
Without listenin´ to you talk
I don´t need their money, baby
Just you and me on the rock
You and me on the rock

I built paper planes when I learned to fly
Like a 747 fallin´ out of the sky
I folded ´em crooked, now I´m wonderin´ why

I could always end up in the water
But nobody´s askin´ why she lookin´ so thin
Why she laughin´ too hard or why she drinkin´ again
A fallen star, she´s a paper plane
She was goin´ down when you caught her

I´ll build my house up on this rock, baby
Every day with you
There´s nothin´ in that town I need
After everything we´ve been through
Me out in my garden and you out on your walk
Is all the distance this poor girl can take
Without listenin´ to you talk
I don´t need their money, baby
Just you and me on the rock

It´s an earthquake, it´s a harder wind

It´s a record breakin´ tide and it is rollin´ in
It´s a big sea, but it can´t touch you and me
It´s just not water for you
And what are you?
I don´t need their money, baby
Woo

I´ll build my house up on this rock, baby
Every day with you
There´s nothin´ in that town I need
After everything we´ve been through
Me out in my garden and you out on your walk
Is all the distance this old girl can take
Without listenin´ to you talk
I don´t need their money, baby
Just you and me on the rock

I don´t need their money, baby (I don´t need their money, baby)

Just you and me on the rock (Just you and me on the rock)
You and me on the rock
