Blood from a Stone

Give me a few moments, I'll be right there
These were the only words I liked to hear
Late night train rides going nowhere
Now just a memory since you've disappeared

Enjoy your collection of pretty little things
And all the problems each one of them will bring

Your love is like blood from a stone
And your heartbeat died into an echo
And the look in your eyes is of someone I don't know
And the mystery around you remains untold

Pretty blue ink across the paper
The truth is no longer in your letters
Burn wild, fire child, cure all that's bitter
Flame high and so bright, not in love, but anger

Your charm is infectious where you plant your seeds
In the hearts of so many left hungry after you leave

Your love is like blood from a stone
And your heartbeat died into an echo
And the look in your eyes is of someone I don't know
And the mystery around you remains untold

But they don't know you like I do
They don't know all that we've been through
And I try to forget this, or am I a fool too?
I've held on for so long, it's all I know how to do

Your love is like blood from a stone
And your heartbeat died into an echo
And the look in your eyes is of someone I don't know
And the mystery around you remains untold
