[Intro] [Verse 1] He came up the beach at evening He had a sword and he was shaking He was younger than I expected He was younger than my sisters He said a name that was not mine He said the word they use for me now And I said please And he did not stop [Pre Chorus] I put my hands across my face I turned toward the rocks I did everything I could And he took hold of my shoulder And he turned me round [Chorus] And then he was stone And then he was stone And I did not know that I could do that Nobody told me I could do that And then he was stone [Verse 2] I sat down next to him till morning I have never done that since I told him things about the temple I told him where I used to sleep He has a very open face He is looking slightly upward He looks like he is about to say that he has changed his mind [Bridge] I am sorry I am sorry I did not want you I did not want anything I am sorry [Outro]
