Heart of Stone

Beneath the white fire of the moon
Love's wings are broken all too soon
We never learn hurt together, hurt alone

Don't you sometimes wish your heart was a heart of stone?

We turn the wheel and break the chain
Put steel to steel and laugh at pain
We're dreamers in castles made of sand
The road to Eden's overgrown

Don't you sometimes wish your heart was made of stone?

Look at the headlines, big crowd at the crazy house
Long queue for the joker's shoes
Ten rounds in the ring with love
Do you lose and win or you win and lose?

Sweet rain like mercy in the night
(Lay me down, wash away the sorrow)
Caress my soul and set it right
(Lay me down, show me your tomorrow)

Summer tears, winter and the moment's flown
Don't you sometimes wish your heart was made of stone?

Mercy, mercy, wish your heart was a heart of stone

Get the picture? No room for the innocent
Peak season in lonely town
Knocked out of the ring by love
Are you down and up or up and down?

I ask the river for a sign
(In a dream, we go on together)
How long is love supposed to shine?
(In a dream, diamonds are forever)

But you and I we're hurt together, hurt alone
Don't you sometimes wish your heart was a heart of stone?

Mercy, mercy, wish your heart was a heart of stone
(With a heart of stone you'll be well protected)
Don't you sometimes wish your heart was made of stone?
(With a heart of stone love's not resurrected)

Mercy, mercy, wish your heart was a heart of stone
(With a heart of stone you'll be well protected)
Don't you sometimes wish your heart was made of stone?
(With a heart of stone love's not resurrected)

Mercy, mercy, wish your heart was a heart of stone
(With a heart of stone you'll be well protected)
