[MUSIC PLAYING - BRANDI CARLISLE,
"YOU AND ME ON THE ROCK"]
BRANDI CARLILE: (SINGING) They build
wooden houses on frozen ponds in the summertime,
when the water's gone.
Diagonal lines in the rolled-out lawns, and the sage
always smells so pretty.
But nobody cares where the birds have gone when the rain
comes down on Babylon.
The stonemason's phone rings all day long,
and you got to get back to the city.
[harmonizing]
BRANDI AND CATHERINE CARLILE: I build
my house up on this rock, baby, every day with you.
There's nothing in that town I need after everything we've
been through.
Me out in my garden and you out on your walk
is all the distance this poor girl can take
without listening to you talk.
I don't need their money, baby.
BRANDI CARLILE: Just you and me on the rock.
I built paper planes when I learned to fly,
like a 747 falling out of the sky.
I folded them crooked and now I'm wondering why I could
always end up in the water.
But nobody's asking why is she looking so thin?
Was she laughing too hard while she's drinking again?
A fall in store, she's a paper plane,
and she was going down when you caught her.
[harmonizing]
BRANDI AND CATHERINE CARLILE: I build
my house up on this rock, baby, every day with you.
There's nothing in that town I need after everything we've
been through.
Me out in my garden and you out on your walk
is all the distance this poor girl can take
without listening to you talk.
I don't need their money, baby.
BRANDI CARLILE: Just and you me on the rock.
It's an earthquake.
It's a hard wind It's a record-breaking tide
and it is a rolling in.
It's a big scene, but it can't hurt you and me.
It's just a water view, water view.
I don't need their money, baby.
CATHERINE CARLILE: I don't need their money, baby.
BRANDI CARLILE: It's you and me on the rock.
CATHERINE CARLILE: It's you and me.
BRANDI CARLILE: It's you and me.
[harmonizing]
BRANDI AND CATHERINE CARLILE: You and me on the rock.
I built my house up on this rock, baby, every day
with you.
There's nothing in that town I need after everything we've
been through.
Me out in my garden and you out on your walk
is all the distance this old girl can take
without listening to you talk.
I don't need their money, baby.
BRANDI CARLILE: Just you and me on the rock.
Just you and me on the rock.
I don't need their money, baby.
CATHERINE CARLILE: I don't need their money, baby.
BRANDI CARLILE: It's you and me on the rock.
CATHERINE CARLILE: It's you and me.
BRANDI CARLILE: Oh, it's you and me.

Yout and me on the rock.
You and me on the rock.
