Beneath the white fire of the moon Love's wings are broken all too soon We never learn Hurt together, hurt alone Don't you sometimes Wish your heart was a heart of stone We turn the wheel, and break the chain Put steel to steel, and laugh at pain We're dreamers in castle's made of sand The road to Eden's overgrown Don't you sometimes Wish your heart was a heart of stone Look at the headlines Big crowd at the crazy house Long cue for the joker's shoe Ten rounds in the ring with love Do you lose and win Or win and lose Sweet rain, like mercy in the night (Lay me down, wash away the sorrow) Caress my soul and set it right (Lay me down, show me your tomorrow) Summer tears, winter and the moment's flown Don't you sometimes Wish your heart was a heart of stone Mercy, mercy, wish your heart was a heart of stone Get the picture No room for the innocent Peak season in lonely town Knocked out of the ring by love Are you down and up Or up and down I ask the river for a sign (In a dream, we go on together) How long is love supposed to shine (In a dream, diamonds are forever But you and I, hurt together, hurt alone Don't you sometimes Wish you heart was a heart of stone Mercy, mercy, wish your heart was a heart of stone (With a heart of stone, you'll be well protected) Don't you sometimes Wish your heart was made of stone (With a heart of stone, you'll be well connected)
