"The Stone" lyrics

"The Stone"
(feat. John D'earth & Kronos Quartet)

I've this creeping
Suspicion that things here are not as they seem
Reassure me
Oh, why do I feel as if I'm in too deep?
Now, I've been praying
For some way to show them
I'm not what they see
Yes I have done wrong
But what I did I thought needed be done
I swear

Oh, unholy day
If I leave now I might get away
Oh but, this weighs on me
As heavy as stone and as blue as I go

I was just wondering if you'd come along
To hold up my head when my head won't hold on
I'll do the same if the same's what you want
If not I'll go
I will go alone
I'm a long way
Oh, from that fool's mistake and now forever pay
No, run
I will run and I'll be OK

I was just wondering if you'd come along
To hold up my head when my head won't hold on
I'll do the same if the same's what you want
But if not I'll go
I will go a long way

To bury the past
For I don't want to pay
Oh, how I wish this
To turn back the clock
And do over again

Now, I'm wondering if you'd come along
To hold up my head when my head won't hold on
I'll do the same if the same's what you want
But if not I'll go
I'll go alone

I need so
To stay in your arms see you smile hold you close
And now it weighs on me
As heavy as stone and a bone chilling cold
I was just wondering if you'd come along
Tell me you will
