Album: Make It Dark (2011)

The Stone

I'm the stone that keeps rolling alone
And the highways of night are my home
I am tail lights that fade on the road
And the vanishing point is my goal

I'm only a moment away
If you need me just call my name
The fever that carries me on will always prevail

The stone, I'm colder than ice and I'm bad to the bone
I'm the stone, you've reached for my hand but
I've left you alone

I return from the dead in your dreams
And I never am quiet what I seem
I have mastered the rules of your game
Now your love and my hate are the same

I ride off in the sun in the end
Like a stallion awry on the wind
A fighter and charmer alike, beware

The stone, I'm colder than ice and I'm bad to the bone
I'm the stone, you've reached for my hand but
I've left you alone

Oh I can fell it, the fever is burning again
I'm rolling with the thunder
We've come to ending my friend

Someday my riding will end
And I'll lay down my life round the bend
I will always remain where I fell
All too happy to bid you farewell, again and again, again and again, my friend

The stone, I'm colder than ice and I'm bad to the bone
I'm the stone, you've reached for my hand but
I've left you all alone
