Stoneheart from Alexandrite by Days of Summer

Stoneheart

I’ve wandered far from the trail and the sun hides its face.
Far enough where I can now proclaim this my own place.

I’ve been wandering.

Maple has lost all her leaves and she looks very cold.
Habits they fall off my back trade the new for the old. (it’s all the same)

I’ve been wandering.

Maybe I’ve wandered too far and my heart misses home,
Or maybe it’s stone.

Mouth of a cave beckons me with its dripping echoes.
Seventeen bats and a stew bubbling over red coals.

I’ve been wandering.

Man selling vegetables with a dark glint in his eye.
“You’ll have to prove your worth”, but I walk by head held high.
I’ve been wandering.

Maybe I’ve wandered too far and my heart misses home,
Or maybe it’s stone. Maybe it’s stone.

Maybe my heart moves at glacial speeds you’ll never know,
Or maybe it’s stone. Maybe it’s stone.

Steel yourself.
It helps to move on.

And I’m half a mile away it’s stone,
Half a look away, it’s stone,
Half a world away, it’s stone,
Half my life away, it’s stone,
Maybe I’ve wandered too far
Maybe I’ve wandered too far,
Maybe I’ve wandered too far,
Finally on my own.
