The rocks don't care(Unplugged)

[intro] [Verse 1] I walked up where the old road ends With my shoes full of rain Carrying a nameless weight That settled in my frame The valley didn’t look at me The crows kept doing crow things A fence leaned into the wind Like it remembered how to yield I told the hill what happened In words I almost meant The grass just shook the dew And gave the weather back its scent [pre-chorus] There were stones along the ridge line Dumb and holy in the air I sat down beside the quiet And the rocks didn’t care [Chorus] The rocks don’t care Who left me there Who said my name like a warning The rocks don’t care They just hold their share Of the weight of another morning The rocks don’t care, no-oh They just don't care [instrumental] [Verse 2] They’ve seen kings become initials Lovers turn to local roads Prayers go soft in churchyards Names wear off of stones They’ve held snow without preference Held the fox and held the gun Held the bones of every empire Till the moss forgave the sun I wanted something ancient To outlast what I felt But the mountain had no language For my version of the night [pre-chorus] So I stopped making my case From a world this old and bare I leaned my grief against it And the rocks didn’t care [Chorus] The rocks don’t care Who left me there Who said my name like a warning The rocks don’t care They just hold their share Of the weight of another morning The rocks don’t care, no-oh They just don't care [post-chorus] And I don’t need the sky to answer I don’t need the world to be fair For the first time in forever I am safe with something that doesn’t care! [nylon guitar solo] [Bridge] I thought comfort had to find me Had to kneel beside my pain Had to witness what was taken Had to call me by my name But some things are too old for pity Some things are too still to lie And I don’t feel smaller beside them I feel less afraid to die Not today Not tonight Just less afraid To be small And alive [Final Chorus] The rocks don’t care Who left me there Who turned my name into a warning The rocks don’t care They just hold their share Of the weight of another morning [outro] And I don’t need the sky to answer I don’t need the world to be fair I don’t need my pain made holy I don’t need a reason there The rocks don’t care, no-oh They just don't care
