Lyrics
Stone Saints (Music and Lyrics (C) Chris Orbach)
Stone Saints
Watching you from across the street
Making sure that you?re alright
You motor out the door, cigarette dangling
Kojak sunglasses on
Set for the night
And I have no defense, nothing I can do
Everything I ever wanted walking up to me as you
And I tell myself?
Today?s the day I?m gonna cross that sea
The one deep down inside of me
?Cause I would lay down for all eternity
With this 16th street Persephone
Please let it be
Stone Saints
Watching you as you return
Pay your respects and you?re excused
Without another thought of me
Drift off into sleep
Validated and amused
And I had no defense, that?s what hurts the most
You showed me everything you wanted
And I wasn?t even close
But I tell myself?
At least today I tried to cross that sea
The one deep down inside of me
I would?ve laid down for all eternity
With that 16th street Persephone
Yeah, I tell myself?
At least today I tried to cross that sea
The one deep down inside of me
I would?ve laid down?laid down for all eternity
With that 16th street Persephone
But it was not to be
