Heavy Stone

Bitten by the wind on a hard, hard day

And god, I really want you to stay

Bitten by tears and a burning fear

That has smeared us both on the table

There are too many people in this street

There are too many eyes to meet

So I'll hold your wrist and I'll feel you listless

Shaking on the edge of your seat

Oh, hide me safe away

I wanna see myself painted an invisible grey

Now feed me to the years

And I will make myself harmless as a drawn-on tear

And please, don't hold me in your soul like a heavy stone

I am carrying my cold heart home

Trapped by a breath and it hit my head

Like a thousand bricks from the sky

And I saw you choke as the last bridge broke

And our fingers waved goodbye

And there are too many clowns stumbling by

And there are too many hands to untie

So I leave it there by the tin can chairs

And the pavement swallows our lies

Oh, hide me safe away

I wanna see myself painted an invisible grey

Now feed me to the years

And I will make myself harmless as a drawn-on tear

And please, don't hold me in your soul like a heavy stone

I am carrying my cold heart...

Your face has followed me home

With unwanted grace I leave you lonely and

We would never make a perfect piece to fit

We will remain unfinished puzzles as we sit

Hide me safe away

I wanna see myself painted an invisible grey

Now feed me to the years

And I will make myself harmless as a drawn-on tear

And please, don't hold me in your soul like a heavy stone

I am carrying my cold heart home
