Things of Stone and Wood

Things of Stone and Wood or ToSaW were an Australian folk-rock band which formed in 1989. The original line-up was Michael Allen on bass guitar and backing vocals; Greg Arnold on lead vocals and acoustic guitar; Justin Brady on violin, mandolin and harmonica; and Tony Floyd on drums and percussion. Two of their albums, The Yearning (7 March 1993) and Junk Theatre (26 March 1995) peaked at No. 8 on the ARIA Albums Chart. Their 1992 single, "Happy Birthday Helen" reached No. 9 on the ARIA Singles Chart, which was written by Arnold for his then-girlfriend, whom he later married. At the ARIA Music Awards of 1993 the group won 'Best New Talent' for "Share this Wine". Arnold won 'Songwriter of the Year' at the 1993 APRA Awards. more »

The stars will dwarf me
And the winds will scatter me
And the earth will have me at last 
I weep upon my own grave
(will) cry for grief
(will) cry for love
I will cry from guilt 
And so I must ask the unanswerable
Why? 
And I must ask the unanswerable 
It's in the hand that heals
It's in the hand that blesses
It's in the hand that kills
It's in the hand that seeks redemption
By gently stroking the bruises of it's fury's crimes
This is the search for a god
This is the horror of mortality
This is the shadow of death tormenting me 
This is the yearning for more
The yearning for more than this 
I yearn 
I yearn 
I yearn
