Stone Away

Just as I was leaving

Just as I stopped feeling

Just as I was dying

and every word denying

I felt the wound

saw the empty room,

'Cos you had flown away

and just when I was sleeping

and just as I stopped breathing

and just when I'd grown colder

and thought that it was over

felt kingdom come

blood on my tongue

rolls the stone away

Now you fall like a shadow I cannot touch

And faith itself is half the battle, I don't have much

(roll the stone away, roll the stone away)

Just as worlds were ending

and just when I was winning

and just as the door was closing

and just as my hand was folding

the whole earth shakes

the stronghold breaks

so you can fly away

Now you fall like a shadow I cannot touch

And faith itself is half the battle, I don't have much

(roll the stone away, roll the stone away)

Well, it's good to know

you own my soul

and you have flown away

So how can I deny you

when I've walked beside you

Well I'm just a coward crawling

and I am an angel falling

Oh carry me

and bury me

then roll the stone away
