I wanted you once but I need you now Like a bird flying high, in the winter flies south And these stones that you’ve thrown haven’t come close To turning my eyes They’re just rocks in the road
CHORUS: I carry your heart on my shoulders And it’s no cross to bear It’s no ball and chain It’s no weight It’s so easy
We eased down in the water and drifted away We could hear others calling but not a word they were saying And these stones that you’ve thrown, too big for some Have just rippled the water And sunk to the bottom
