Lyrics

[Verse]
Here in Bedrock dawn is humming, sandstone blushing in the light,
0:13
Quarry whistles start their drumming, pterodactyls take to flight.
Bare feet on a gravel highway, sparks like stars beneath the toes,
Stone-wheel dreams roll down the byway where the ancient river flows.
Chorus:
Yabba-do hearts in a cavetown chorus,
Hammer-on-rock keeps the rhythm before us.
Moon over slate and a porch made of bone,
Love makes a fire in a house of stone.
Wilma’s laugh is warm and steady, pancakes rising on the slate,
Pebbles claps and wobbles ready, tiny hands that can’t wait.
Barney’s knocking, Fred is waving, Betty’s got that knowing grin,
Every little trouble’s caving when the neighbors wander in.
Chorus:
Yabba-do hearts in a cavetown chorus,
Hammer-on-rock keeps the rhythm before us.
Moon over slate and a porch made of bone,
Love makes a fire in a house of stone.
Bridge:
We don’t need chrome or neon nights,
We’ve got stars in prehistoric skies.
Bedrock streets and simple sights,
Tell us all we need is here, and that’s no surprise.
Verse:
Dino bounds like purple thunder, tail a metronomic beat,
Footprints marching, side by side, two by two down every street.
Whistle blows, the day’s undone, quarry dust turns gold at dusk,
Hold the ones you love the most, that’s the only precious crust.
Chorus:
Yabba-do hearts in a cavetown chorus,
Hammer-on-rock keeps the rhythm before us.
Moon over slate and a porch made of bone,
Love makes a fire in a house of stone.So let the stone-age city sing, let the gravel carry tone,
In a world of rock and ring, we are never all alone.
Bedrock dreams, forever known,
Home is where we shape the stone.
