Stone (David Bowieknife Cover)

[verse] oh, my love My friend you know it's been a while Without thinking of you but the thought makes me smile [chorus] I'm so tired of wanting wanting more than this i know it but what am i to do i need some space to breathe, so give me some room She kneels where the ground’s gone hollow, By a name that time won’t follow. A son who ran straight into danger, For a poem carved deep in weathered stone. It floats between the name and her cheek, Heavy with the kind of quiet no one speaks. Somewhere else, two kids are talking, Saying things that feel like secrets. They laugh like nothing bad could happen, Cling close while morning creeps in. It’s the kind of love that doesn’t ask, Just moves fast, and never lasts. Love don’t check who’s ready, It shows up, makes a mess, It finds the softest part and Breaks it without warning. No big reason, no big guess, Just the way it goes at best. I ain’t got some big idea, No clear voice inside my head. All I ever really had Was love itself. And love don’t always love you back. A preacher leans against the altar, Talks about some higher meaning. Raises his hands up to the ceiling. Says there’s love up in the clouds, But I never saw it looking down. Still, I keep reaching out for something, Even if it’s not reaching back. Love don’t check who’s ready, It shows up, makes a mess, It finds the softest part and Breaks it without warning. No big reason, no big fest, Just the way it goes at best. I ain’t got some sacred sign, No wings above me when I sleep. All I got is what I’ve given. And love don’t always give it back to me [verse] oh, my love you have a heart of stone cause since i've come home i've never felt so alone but the thought makes me smile [chorus] I'm so tired of wanting wanting more than this I know you'll leave me one day can you just stay till Monday the thought makes me smile [outro] So good Smile Smile Smile Smile
