i can always hear the stones cry out
i only move when so allowed
you mark my words they will do me proud
i will try not to leave any stones

i save myself for a promised event
keeping tabs on the money i spend
i'm never lonely 'cause i know i'm right
i can hear the stones cry out

i 've ground to a halt but still i hold
my whole world is made of steel and gold
i'll draw a curtain lest i draw a crowd
they act like they don't hear the stones cry out

round thirteen i'm running out of prayers
my faith's not strong but it is always there
i pray one day they will not be so loud
i can hear the stones cry out

i can always hear the stones cry out
i only sleep when i'm so allowed
you mark my words they will do me proud
i will try not to leave any stones
