Your Stone Walls [Lawrence Gowan]




Your Stone Walls
Written by Lawrence Gowan
Lead Vocals by Lawrence Gowan

Some people tell me that you lead a terribly rough life
And that you keep to yourself to survive many cold nights
And I'll be sorry one day if I don't keep my distance
A fool to believe that I'd make a difference
Well, maybe I can't deny - there's a bitterness in your eyes
But I thought I would say, I'm afraid I must disagree

I see your hard heart crumbling
Your stone walls want to tumble in
When you're looking at me

And I'll be making you see another possible future
Do I make you believe we got something to shoot for?
Baby you know the whole world could change in a minute -
If you wanted that tonight I'm your ticket
It's getting me kind of high, something's powerful in these eyes
Oh, in mysterious ways that controlling your destiny

I see your hard heart crumbling (heart crumbling)
Your stone walls want to tumble in
When you're looking at me

Yeah, yeah, and you know - I could change your life right here
Something in your face says you want me to try
And I've seen all that I have ever needed
In your melting eyes
No they could never lie

Yeah, your hard heart is crumbling
Your stone walls want to tumble in
When you're looking at me
And I like what I see

Come on, bring them on me
Let them fall right on me, yeah
(Stone walls tumble in, keep....)
(Oh your hard heart's crumbling, baby)
Oh your hard heart's crumbling
Stone walls 
Stone walls
Stone walls fall right in (keep)
Let them down me
Just let them fall right on me
(Stone walls tumble in, keep...)
See your hard heart (hard heart)
Stone walls tumbling
Don't want to keep...
Yeah, your hard heart is crumbling
Your stone walls want to tumble in
When you're looking at me
Ooh

Interpretation

You've had a rough life, and so you put up stone walls around your heart. I love you and want to give you a better life. Behind the bitterness your eyes, I see in your face that you want me to try.

"Your hard heart is crumbling, your stone walls want to tumble in when you're looking at me, and I like what I see."
