Robert Forster - Baby Stones lyrics

You say, you want to take a lover Although you're satisfied with me We have to open our horizons, my love We can, but you'll do it without me You can call me old-fashioned You can call me straight laced I'm not going to sit here and let another man take my place So go and see him, what will be will be Every man for the rest of your life will be less than me I want you to stay You search for a worthwhile need But why not do the searching around here and try to involve me? You say there's nothing wrong with us That what we have here is good But you have more needs and the fire cannot burn on the same old wood So excuse me if I look tired So excuse me if I just look at the sun You see I wanted to be blinded And I wanted to be your only one The yellow time of autumn comes The dying sound of distant drums The old me that sit on doorsteps know I am an unfortunate man And on a road that's made of stones The road that's made of Baby Stones There's an arrow made of stones That points away from this home I missed the turning back, I walked on by Old situations can make you want to lie down and die I want you to stay You search for a worthwhile need But why not do the searching around here and try to involve me? And on a road that's made of stones The road that's made of Baby Stones There's an arrow made of stones That points away from this home
