Heart of Stone

Another piece of heaven gone to hell.
The words you spoke that day
Just tore my world apart.
Now, I don’t know what to say.

I sat feeling sorry for myself on the ferry.
Then an old man sat down beside me,
And looked me in the eye.
Said, “Son, you wanna die.”

He continued, "I know what you're going through.
I can see it in your sad eyes.
You don’t know about lonely
Till your woman’s love dies.

“You don't know about sadness
Till you've faced life alone.
You don't know about lonely
Till her heart turns to stone."

So I thought of pretty flowers.
Wished my wife could understand.
Sometimes a man is such a fool.
I wanted all for you I can.

Words from the heart of that old man
Showed me I ain't nothing without you.
You don't know about lonely
Or how long nights can be,
Till you've lived through the story
That old man told me.

And you don't know about sadness,
Till you've faced life alone.
You don't know about lonely
Till you’ve faced a heart of stone.
One day soon I’ll be gone,
And forget your heart of stone.
