Hot breath[00:00:00]
Rough skin[00:00:03]
Warm laughs and smiling[00:00:05]
The loveliest words whispered and meant[00:00:10]
You like all these things[00:00:15]
But though you like all these things[00:00:25]
You love a stone[00:00:31]
You love a stone[00:00:36]
Because it's smooth and it's cold[00:00:41]
And you'd love most to be told that it's all your own[00:00:51]
You love white veins[00:01:01]
You love hard grey[00:01:04]
The heaviest weight[00:01:06]
The clumsiest shape[00:01:08]
The earthiest smell[00:01:11]
The hollowest tone you love a stone[00:01:13]
And I'm found too fast[00:01:33]
Called too fond of flames[00:01:34]
And then I'm phoning my friends[00:01:36]
And then I'm shouldering the blame[00:01:38]
While you're picking pebbles out of the drain miles ago[00:01:41]
You're out singing songs[00:01:51]
And I'm down shouting names[00:01:53]
At the flickerless screen going f**king insane[00:01:55]
Am I losing my cool overstating my case[00:02:00]
Well baby what can I say[00:02:05]
You know I never claimed that I was a stone[00:02:11]
And you love a stone[00:02:20]
You love white veins[00:02:25]
You love hard grey[00:02:28]
The heaviest weight[00:02:30]
The clumsiest shape[00:02:32]
The earthiest smell[00:02:35]
The hollowest tone you love a stone[00:02:37]
You love a stone[00:03:10]
Because it's dark[00:03:14]
And it's old and if it could start being alive[00:03:19]
You'd stop living alone[00:03:27]
And I think I believe that[00:03:33]
If stones could dream[00:03:35]
They'd dream of being laid side-by-side[00:03:37]
Piece-by-piece[00:03:41]
And turned into a castle[00:03:43]
For some towering queen they're unable to know[00:03:45]
And when that queen's daughter came of age[00:03:53]
I think she'd be lovely and stubborn and brave[00:03:57]
And suitors would journey from kingdoms away[00:04:02]
To make themselves known[00:04:07]
And I think that I know the bitter dismay[00:04:12]
Of a lover who brought fresh bouquets every day[00:04:17]
When she turned him away to remember some knave[00:04:22]
Who once gave just one rose one day years ago[00:04:27]
