Ron Pope - If You Were a Stone lyrics

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
