Stone of my ways lyrics

She was younger, so much younger Last December was many years ago She pulls her hair back, rolls her sleeves up Trying not to choke me on her own sorrow What happened? Where am I? All these excuses that I must sell My life is like a minute hand How long before I reach the twelve? Alone, and far from home How am I supposed to conquer the world Tied to this stone? He dances, takes chances Ripping holes in an otherwise perfect day He drives on towards the office, drinks his coffee and wishes he could go out to play
