If you were a stone then I'd be the rain
|
Turn you to sand as the time slips away
|
If you were a tree then I'd be the earth
|
Clutching your roots as you reach skyward
|
|
I am a metaphor for all the things I couldn't say
|
It's never easy
|
Then it hurts
|
Like scratching diamonds I have tried to find my way to you
|
But we're both moving in reverse
|
|
I wish that we could both find a simple way just to make it by
|
Right now I'm alright if you're just fine
|
|
But if you were a stone then I'd be the rain
|
Turn you to sand as the time slips away
|
If you were a tree then I'd be the earth
|
Clutching your roots as you reach skyward
|
|
Some nights you're a photograph fading in my memory
|
Some days I feel you on my skin
|
We're trading silence
|
There are words that seem to steal our breath
|
And I just dream about your lips
|
|
And I wish that we could both find a simple way just to make it by
|
Right now I'm alright if you're just fine
|
|
But if you were a stone then I'd be the rain
|
Turn you to sand as the time slips away
|
If you were a tree then I'd be the earth
|
Clutching your roots as you reach skyward
|
|
We'd count the stars
|
My hands in your leaves
|
And I'd hold my breath 'til we both fell asleep
|
|
If you were a stone then I'd be the rain,
|
Turn you to sand as the time slips away
|
|
I will wait, I will wait, I will wait for
|
I will wait, I will wait, I will wait for
|
I will wait, I will wait, I will wait for you
|
|
I will wait, I will wait, I will wait for
|
I will wait, I will wait, I will wait for
|
I will wait, I will wait, I will wait for you
|
|
If you were a stone then I'd be the rain
|
Turn you to sand as the time slips away
|
If you were a tree then I'd be the earth
|
Clutching your roots as you reach skyward
|
|
If you were a stone then I'd be the rain,
|
Turn you to sand as the time slips away
|
