BLANKET OF STONE

BLANKET OF STONE
---------- - - ----------
I sewed those stiches into your head
after taking sawdust from our bed
the barn door swung, in came the cold
you take in everything you're told
the grass was high around our skin
two birds were drifting on the wind
stolen chances thieves under sun
love had grown from our secret fun
the sunlight fades out on another day
guilty pleasure turned to guilty pain
fires burned too hot now ashes cold
dark descended, like a blanket of stone
dark descended, like a blanket of stone
I've cried inside for what I've done
and one day I'll pay the entire sum
but can any man turn his back on lust
and does any woman deserve your trust
the sunlight fades out on another day
guilty pleasure turned to guilty pain
fires burned too hot now ashes cold
dark descended, like a blanket of stone
dark descended, like a blanket of stone
two branded hearts with an iron deceit
it was ours to take and that we did
I'll beg no forgiveness I'll punish myself
by walking the red coals straight to hell
the sunlight fades out on another day
guilty pleasure turned to guilty pain
fires burned too hot now ashes cold
dark descended, like a blanket of stone
lying in the dust like old dry bones
dark descended, like a blanket of stone
