It has been a long time and this thread is probably going to be a shambling zombie with no real purpose, but: - As we sailed to the islands The Rose and the Rock We heard the ancient hills Heave a sigh as they slept Dazzled by the light The Rose and the Rock We stood upon the deck And we laughed and we wept The vine shall be our shelter The Rose and the Rock The olive grove our store Chamomile for our beds No jade is like like the sea The Rose and the Rock No sapphire like the sky Stretching over our heads No amber like the sand The Rose and the Rock No gold is like the sun As he sets in the west No jet is like the rock The Rose and the Rock No ruby like the rose That she holds to her breast We are returning home The Rose and the Rock We have traveled far Now our wandering will cease We are returning home The Rose and the Rock Rock your children in the cradle Of the Earth Mother Greece Just seven miles off Delos The Rose and the Rock The Mistral tied the two In a true lovers' knot Fifty fathoms down The Rose and the Rock Love and death together The Rose and the Rock I think that is pretty definitive.
