"Stone" lyrics

You used to be the best of me, you were the only one
I watched you walk your life when all I did was run
You put me on a throne and left me all alone
Watched me turn to stone

Sweet lover's song is what we used to sing
Songs from the book of love, we laughed at everything
We gave them May to May, we gave through night and day
Now who can say why we're cold with nothing left but stone

(Stone)
Nothing left but stone

A thirsty leaf says autumn's in the air
What's left of love is dangling somewhere
Shouldn't we cherish it and treat it with respect?
Hangin' around so long there ain't nothing left

Sweet lover's song washed away the dirt
Songs from the book of love that healed our every hurt
We gave them May to May, we gave through night and day
Now who can say why we're cold with nothing left but stone

(Stone)
(Ain't nothing left but stone)

Should we go our separate ways or give this one more try?
What is there left to build on when love's foundation dies?
Seems like we could work this out, last time I checked, we're grown
Take your icy hand and press it on this heart of stone

(Stone)

To be loved (To be loved)
To be loving (To be loving)
Isn't it what you make it?
Isn't it when 2 people give more than they're taking?
Isn't it when a woman deserves a savior and a man comes, running with the only hand that can save her?

Lives are special things without being told
But you can feel the heat even in the cold
It's better than growing old with nothing left but stone

Stone
Nothing left but stone
Stone
Seems like we can work this out
