Baby Stones

You say you want to take a lover

Although you're satisfied with me

We have to open our horizons my love

We can but you'll do it without me

You can call me old fashioned

You can call me straight laced

I'm not going to sit here and let another man take my place

So go and see him what will be will be

Every man for the rest of your life will be less than me

I want you to stay

You search for a worthwhile need

But why not do the searching around here and try to involve me

You say there's nothing wrong with us

That what we have here is good

But you have more needs and the fire cannot burn on the same old wood

So excuse me if I look tired

So excuse me if I just look at the sun

You see I wanted to be blinded

And I wanted to be your only one

The yellow time of autumn comes

The dying sound of distant drums

The old me that sit on doorsteps know I am an unfortunate man

And on a road that's made of stones

The road that's made of Baby Stones

There's an arrow made of stones

That points away from this home

I missed the turning back I walked on by

Old situations can make you want to lie down and die

I want you to stay

You search for a worthwhile need

But why not do the searching around here and try to involve me

And on a road that's made of stones

The road that's made of Baby Stones

There's an arrow made of stones

That points away from this home
