Who are you darling to turn me to stone?
 You open my eyes but break all my bones
 Now you want to be together after so many years alone?

 Sing a song of sweetness or a melody of hope
 If a lump leaves my pants and lands in my throat
 How can two hands be tied without any rope?

 Now I'm always away
 But it's you I'm thinking of
 I was walking around the stone before your sobering love

 Now I had a dream for your soft paper hands
 The left one would carry my wedding band
 The right one would always be reaching for the man

 This is no home, though it may be our house
 There was many of times I'd rather shut than kiss your mouth
 And I figured we can make it if I can figure you out

 Now I'm always away
 But it's you I'm thinking of
 I was walking around the stone before your sobering love

 My true love has left me
 I sigh and I slouch
 it's up to the fridge then back to the couch
 I want to believe but there's so much doubt

 I told you then, when we were just teens
 I'd rather be in your heart
 Then be in your jeans
 I guess I always am, but only in dreams

 Now I'm always away
 But it's you I'm thinking of
 I was walking around the stone before your sobering love

 If I ever stayed, I'd thank the lord above
 For turning my heart back toward a drunken love
