lyrics

Love has left and you got in the way
There’s just one more thing to do today
It’s to send you off with something from my room
You’ll remember me on a cloudy day

You’ll take it out when no one is around
And swear that after all these years it still smells the same, again

A stone they say can last
Forever and I hope this one will do
A stone they say can last
Forever and I give this one to you

You and I got off to something grand
But, oh, the tides have turned and turned this mountain into sand
No I’m off and (often) on my way to other lands
Standard issue empty heart, no one to hold my hand

You’ll take it down when no one is around
And swear that when that flag came home you never loved no one the same again, oh no.

A stone they say can last
Forever and I hope this one will do
A stone they say can last
Forever and I give this one to you
