lyrics

God Of Stone.

Your faith was undeniable,
on bended knees
you'd pray for me,
Your God of Stone
cold and remote
did he listen to your prayers.
Your life like a sinking ship
The martyr goes down on her own
the waters so dark and so deep
I had to let you go

You just wanted to be free
back in those days I clouldn't see
It took me half of my life
to understand you
Like a bird in need of flight
You just wanted to be free
It took me half of my life
to understand.

As a child I learned a dance
of stepping lightly round the cracks
of reading feelings in each room
and sometimes hiding in the dark.
protecting me from yourself
praying to your God of Stone
did he listen did he care?
I didn't want to know.

You just wanted to be free
back in those days I clouldn't see
It took me half of my life
to understand you
Like a bird in need of flight
You just wanted to be free
It took me half of my life
to understand.

I have been burned by the sun
I have drowned in all the seas
I have cried a lot of tears
but it took me half of my life
to understand you

With the passage
of so much time
I take my place in this world
With love for you
in my heart
you can reclaim
your innocence.

You just wanted to be free
back in those days I clouldn't see
It took me half of my life
to understand you
Like a bird in need of flight
You just wanted to be free
It took me half of my life
to understand.

I have been burned by the sun
I have drowned in all the seas
I have cried a lot of tears
but it took me half of my life
to understand you.
God Of Stone.
