Cherries in an Alabaster Bowl

Lyrics

[Verse 1] If I was a poet, I'd ramble round Seek the truth to know it inside out and upside down Over time and under bridges On the road and off the rails Way yonder past religious, with your breath to fill my sail [Chorus] And it all comes down to rock 'n' roll Sayin' hell with all the things we can't control Sharin' the secrets of our souls Like cherries in an alabaster bowl [Verse 2] With wine and watercolors And everything that's good I'll give you all I have, and I'll do the things I should Sling dice till I hit snake-eyes Trade my telly for a clock Just to love you in the silence, between the tick and tock [Chorus] It all comes down to rock 'n' roll Sayin' hell with all the things we can't control Sharin' the secrets of our souls Like cherries in an alabaster bowl [Repeated Chorus/Outro] It all comes down to rock 'n' roll Sayin' hell with all the things we can't control Sharin' the secrets of our souls Like cherries in an alabaster bowl Like cherries in an alabaster bowl
