Heart of Stone Songtext

von Joan Osborne

Leanin' against the window of a white hotel room
Lookin' down at Dallas, shining in the heat
Honey when you move it's graceful as a pnther
Open up your lips and my heart skips a beat

You suffer so pretty like a ragged apostle
You burn oh so brightly like a soldering gun
And I gave my body and soul to relieve you
But now you have told me that I'm not the one

And if I'm not the one
Baby if I'm not the one

Who's gonna dive down to the floor of the ocean
Who's gonna save you from being alone
Who's gonna hold you when you cry in the nighttime
Who's gonna carry your heart
Your heart of stone

I believed my love
Could chase away your darkness
Was strong enough to fight all the demons in your dreams
(Little did I know the weight would pull me under
Living in your world is so much harder than it seems)

Bit if I'm not the one
Baby if I'm not the one

Who's gonna dive down to the floor of the ocean
Who's gonna save you from being alone
Who's gonna hold you when you cry in the nighttime
Who's gonna carry your heart
Your heart of stone

Alt. verse lyric
(Little did I know it would pull me under
I watched us both come apart at the seams)
