Lyrics
Heart of Stone
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Leanin' against the window of a white hotel room
Lookin' down at Dallas, shining in the heat
Honey when you move it's graceful as a pnther
Open up your lips and my heart skips a beat
You suffer so pretty like a ragged apostle
You burn oh so brightly like a soldering gun
And I gave my body and soul to relieve you
But now you have told me that I'm not the one
And if I'm not the one
Baby if I'm not the one
Who's gonna dive down to the floor of the ocean
Who's gonna save you from being alone
Who's gonna hold you when you cry in the nighttime
Who's gonna carry your heart
Your heart of stone
I believed my love
Could chase away your darkness
Was strong enough to fight all the demons in your dreams
(Little did I know the weight would pull me under
Living in your world is so much harder than it seems)
Bit if I'm not the one
Baby if I'm not the one
Who's gonna dive down to the floor of the ocean
Who's gonna save you from being alone
Who's gonna hold you when you cry in the nighttime
Who's gonna carry your heart
Your heart of stone
Alt verse lyric
(Little did I know it would pull me under
I watched us both come apart at the seams)
