Chiseled In Stone

You ran crying to the bedroom

I ran off to the bar

Another piece of heaven gone to hell

The words we spoke in anger just tore my world apart

And I sat there feeling sorry for myself

Then that old man sat down beside me

And looked me in the eye

And said son I know what you're going through

You ought to get down on your knees

And thank your lucky stars that you got someone to go home to

You don't know about lonely

Or how long nights can be

Till you lived through the story

That's still living in me

And you don't know about sadness

Till you faced life alone

You don't know about lonely

Till it's chiseled in stone

So I brought these pretty flowers

Hoping you would understand

Sometimes a man is such a fool

Those golden words of wisdom

From the heart of that old man

Showed me I ain't nothing without you

You don't know about lonely

Till it's chiseled in stone
