Song Lyrics

He's just the kind of man you hear about
Who leaves his family for an easy out
They never saw the signs, he never said a word
He couldn't take another day

Carry me to the shoreline
Bury me in the sand
Walk me across the water
And maybe you'll understand

Once the stone you're crawling under
Is lifted off your shoulders
Once the cloud that's raining over your head disappears
The noise that you'll hear is the crashing down of hollow years

She's not the kind of girl you hear about
She'll never want another, she'll never be without
She'll give you all the signs, she'll tell you everything
Then turn around and walk away

Carry me to the shoreline
Bury me in the sand
Walk me across the water
And maybe you'll understand

Once the stone you're crawling under
Is lifted off your shoulders
Once the cloud that's raining over your head disappears
The noise that you'll hear is the crashing down of hollow years

Carry me to the shoreline
Bury me in the sand
Walk me across the water
And maybe you'll understand

Once the stone you're crawling under
Is lifted off your shoulders
Once the cloud that's raining over your head disappears
The noise that you'll hear is the crashing down of hollow years

Once the stone you're crawling under
Once the stone you're crawling under
Once the stone you're crawling under
