POLISHED STONE (2016)




Closing up the wounds
Cutting to the bone
I will kill two birds
With a polished stone
I will sign my name
With my shaking hand
With the quiet sigh
Of the newly damned


And all our reckonings come down to this...


I will kill two birds
With a polished stone
You’ll be free at last
I’ll be on my own
Will you feel regret?
Do I really care?
Will the truth come out
When we’re unaware

And all our reckonings come down to this...


Slander my name in every bar
Love will not linger where you are
It’s a crying shame
It’s a case of libel
Love comes back, dead on arrival



It’s a check that’s cashed
For a modest fee
It’s a glance we exchanged
Accidentally

A treaty signed
In a combat zone
I will kill two birds
With a polished stone


Slander my name in every bar
Love will not linger where you are
It’s a crying shame
It’s a case of libel
Love comes back, dead on arrival


I will kill two birds
With a polished stone




Still fiddling with this one. Mostly I wanted to have the title appear in a different part of each verse.
