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

Postcards From Nowhere is an intimate acoustic journey through the heart of small-town America and the UK, told through the eyes of a young musician who trades the safety of home for the uncertainty of the open road.

The Busker's Prayer

[Verse]
A world is a room that won't stand still
Space in time
It's bending your will
Many doors are waiting
Lined in a row
Step through one
See where it’ll go

[Prechorus]
The walls
They whisper
They hum
They sigh
Which way to wander
Which way to try

[Chorus]
Life of the free
It's just two words
Choices
Acceptance
Nothing absurd
Choose your door
Walk through the haze
Let it lead you to brighter days

[Verse 2]
Every hallway twists like a maze
Some feel like home
Some burn and blaze
The lock turns slow
The key feels wrong
But every choice is where you belong

[Prechorus]
The echoes shout
They sing
They cry
Which path will teach you how to fly

[Chorus]
Life of the free
It's just two words
Choices
Acceptance
Nothing absurd
Choose your door
Walk through the haze
Let it lead you to brighter days
