Heart of Stone

cher

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 castles made of sand 
The road to Eden's overgrown 
Don't you sometimes wish your heart was made of stone? 

Look at the headlines: 

BIG CROWD AT THE CRAZY HOUSE
LONG QUEUE FOR THE JOKER'S SHOES 
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 made 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, we're hurt together, hurt alone 
Don't you sometimes wish your 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) 
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) 
Mercy, mercy, wish your heart was a heart of stone (fade)
