Heart of Stone
JOE CHESTER
Dancing in the gaslight,
A blanket on the floor,
Making every day seem,
A little leftover,
The dust that covers everything,
Circling the heart,
And in every night sky,
A few less stars.
Heart of stone leave me alone,
I can't say no,
I've got more love,
Than I could ever control.
Love was like a crash,
A prizefighter's song,
It filled your ears with noise,
The survival of the strong,
Now love is falling water,
Something that you always knew,
Opening the door,
To a quiet room,
Heart of stone leave me alone,
I can't say no,
I've got more love,
Than I could ever control.
And now there is no night,
And no sudden start,
Just a light,
That beats in time to a resting heart.
