SORROW ON THE ROCKS
Lyrics and Music By
JR Greely Copyright:2025


The screen door is hanging off the hinges,
The roof has been leaking when it rains,
This house is colder than it once was,
I can feel chilly wind thru the panes.

Our trinkets and treasures are memories,
Collecting cobwebs and dust on a shelf,
All the music I hear is haunting,
Oh how life has changed here by myself.

Chorus
The ice cubes in my drink are crackling,
From the 90 proof teardrops I’ve cried,
Down by the river where we married,
You’ll find my sorrow on the rocks.

The perfume you wore no longer lingers,
Our picture hangs crooked on the wall,
The paint is now cracked and blistered,
I long to hear your footsteps in the hall.

The memories made in these empty rooms,
Whispers of laughter now a distant sound,
Every shadow dances in the twilight,
And I’m lost in the silence that’s all around.

Chorus
The ice cubes in my drink are crackling,
From the 90 proof teardrops I’ve cried,
Down by the river where we married,
You’ll find my sorrow on the rocks.

Bridge
The snow is falling on our roses,
The tulips ain’t blooming red and blue,
The songbirds ain’t singing in the treetops,
It’s been sorrow on the rocks without you.

Chorus
The ice cubes in my drink are crackling,
From the 90 proof teardrops I’ve cried,
Down by the river where we married,
You’ll find my sorrow on the rocks.

TAG
Down by the river where your buried
I close my eyes, I can still see your smile
Down by the river where we married
you'll find my sorrow on the rocks.



Sorrow On The Rocks

Deliver me from pain

This song is a reflection on Jesus’ call, prayer, and healing power. Inspired by Luke 6:12–19, it reminds us that every mission begins in prayer, every disciple is chosen in love, and every heart can be healed by His presence.
