Iron and Stone

[Intro] [Upbeat acoustic guitar strumming with driving upright bass] (Ooooh, ooooh) [Verse 1] [Male lead with group harmony on last word] They watch us walk from the porch at night And say we don't look together right You’re the mountain peak and I’m the sea But they can't see how you work with me (Work with me) [Verse 2] [Second male lead, punchy delivery with alternating harmonies] You were raised in the parlor with the fine-spun thread I was born on the trail with a hard wood bed You speak in colors and I speak in grain But we both feel the pull of the coming rain (Coming rain) [Chorus] [Male group in robust three-part harmony, high energy] I’ll take the iron and you take the stone We’ll build a life that is all our own Let the whole world walk the other way We’ve got a debt we’re never gonna pay (Never gonna pay) [Verse 3] [Alternating leads between male singers] They say we’re a puzzle with pieces wrong A jagged line in a simple song They want a picture of the things they know But we’re the river and the winter snow (Winter snow) [Bridge] [Male group, slower tempo, heavy stomps, building tension] We don't need a map or a fancy name To play the parts in a hollow game We’re just two souls with a heavy stride With nothing to prove and nowhere to hide (Nowhere to hide) [Chorus] [Male group, maximum volume, anthemic] I’ll take the iron and you take the stone We’ll build a life that is all our own Let the whole world walk the other way We’ve got a debt we’re never gonna pay (Never gonna pay)
