Bag of Stones
Godfather.
Posts: 12,504
Seems like only yesterday
we were skipping stone across the pond
but look at you now you're all grown up
and shaking leaves off the trees
as you move from town to town.
Night time comes and everybody knows
this place ain't growing any dreams
only lust and one night stands
to bring this town to it's knees
and the ghosts of good times past
forever rule these streets.
So now you're chasing a dream
as you run from town to town
looking for the one last chance
to leave your ghosts behind you.
But it wasn't that long ago
we were skipping stones across the pond
or was it just a memory you've tried to leave behind you
as you run from town to town.
I remember what your momma said
that you wern't any good at all
and that boy you been skipping stones with
is headed for a fall.
But here I am shaking like a leaf on a tree
and I 've been behind you all the way
with a bag of stones and a memory
of you and that ol' pond that always
filled our days.
You and I both know this bag of stones
ain't buying any dreams
but the memory's inside
have me shaking like a leaf in a tree
and I just want to take you home.
I have a bag of stones
and a place we can go to leave these ghosts behind
and if you come with me we can skip these stones
and find all the dreams we missed.
You and I both know this bag of stones
ain't buying any dreams
but the memory's inside
have me shaking like a leaf in a tree
and I just want to take you home.
