about

Love on the rock ....

lyrics

Listen to this story
One lover is afraid
That if she paid attention
She’d see her lover start to fade
He was hauling furniture
14 hours a day
She worked at an ER
Seven hundred miles away
It’s a strain
He went to Virginia
And he broke a simple rule
To never talk to strangers
But she seemed like someone that he knew
We all know temptation
Uses humans to amuse
But Jeannie won’t be laughing
Because she thinks he’s always true to her
It’s a strain
Later during dinner
The meal was badly burned
Her eyes were pleading help me
But he didn't seem concerned,
It’s a strain
That was how it rusted
The beginning of the trend
If he can’t be trusted
Will it be the end?
The doctors’ orders are obeyed
But she just never heals
And when she goes home all alone
That’s exactly how she feels,
It’s a strain.
