Peter Sinfield - Heart of Stone lyrics

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 Where dreamers and castles are made of sand The road to Eden's is 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 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 asked the river for a sign (In my dreams we go on together) How long is love supposed to shine? (In my dreams diamonds are forever) But you and I - we 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 (In a heart of stone, you'll be well protected) Don't you sometimes wish your heart made of stone? (In a heart of stone, you'll be well protected) Mercy, mercy wish your heart was a heart of stone (In a heart of stone, you'll be well protected) Don't you sometimes wish your heart made of stone? (In a heart of stone, you'll be well protected) Mercy, mercy wish your heart was a heart of stone
