Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Beneath the white fire of the moon
Love's wings are broken all too soon
We never learn
Hurt together, hurt alone
Don't you sometimes
Wish your heart was, a heart of stone?
[Verse 2]
We turn the wheel and break the chain
Put steel to steel and laugh at pain
Where dreamers and castles are made of sand
The road to Eden's overgrown
Don't you sometimes
Wish your heart was made of stone?
[Verse 3]
Look at the headlines
[Verse 4]
Big crowd at the crazy house
Long queue for the Joker's shoes
Ten rounds in the ring with love
Do you lose and win or win and lose?
[Verse 5]
Sweet rain like mercy in the night
(Lay me down, wash away the sorrow)
Caress my soul and set it right
(Lay me down, show me your tomorrow)
[Verse 6]
Summer tears
Winter and the moment's flown
Don't you sometimes
Wish your heart was made of stone?
[Verse 7]
Mercy, mercy
Wish your heart was, a heart of stone
Get the picture
[Verse 8]
No room for the innocent
Peak season in Lonely Town
Knocked out of the ring by love
Are you down and up?
Or up and down?
[Verse 9]
I asked the river for a sign
(In my dreams, we go on together)
How long is love supposed to shine?
(In my dreams, diamonds are forever)
[Verse 10]
But you and I
We hurt together, hurt alone
Don't you sometimes
Wish your heart was, a heart of stone?
[Verse 11]
Mercy, mercy
Wish your heart was, a heart of stone
(With a heart of stone, you'll be well protected)
[Verse 12]
Don't you sometimes
Wish your heart was made of stone?
(With a heart of stone, love's not resurrected)
[Verse 13]
Mercy, mercy
Wish your heart was, a heart of stone
(With a heart of stone, you'll be well protected)
[Verse 14]
Don't you sometimes
Wish your heart was, a made of stone?
(With a heart of stone, love's not resurrected)
[Verse 15]
Mercy, mercy
Wish your heart was, a heart of stone
(With a heart of stone, you'll be well protected)
