Stone 03:02
I asked to marry this old house it creaked and shuttered at the sound the wind blows nightly in these ghosts I sleep alone but I am found when autumn came and took the leaves I gathered bones to build a bed deep in your heart I found a stone a stone can make a faithful friend and all these years I'll hold. you know I love these rock walls. a stone can be a quiet friend this work may be left undone and we may leave these things unsaid and all these years I'll hold and all these stones I know. and all these years I'll hold.
2.
The Weight 05:04
this mountain will be broken down to boulders found in prairie towns we gather stones to feel the weight to feel the power it must take but now it's time to wait she climbed a mountain carrying your weight all of the rocks and sand and hate we carry everything not said we take it home and into our beds but now it's time to wait and sit down and rest our weary feet and lay down these stones and leave and lay down these stones and leave and now it's time to leave this mountain will be broken down to boulders found in prairie towns a stone for everything unsaid I sleep with stones inside my bed but it's time to wait.

I'll come to take care of you when the white old winter blows through leaving trails of cold windy dunes and racks us up in cold pantry rooms I'll come to meet you in the water oh this tub ain't big enough for you and me so I'll wrapped this towel around your shoulders and I'll let you try and do the same for me but don't you dare try and take care of me we'll the love it fades without warning so I crawl into your bed in the morning this winter desert scene expands the faraway sky you ask me how did I ever survive we'll don't you dare try and take care of me go on and tell me your story from a different point of view this time tell me how your heart jumped on a runaway train and how we were two runaways on the line we are not going somewhere this time I'm staying right here don't you dare try and take care of me we are not going somewhere this time I'm staying right here don't you dare try and take care of me
