The Stone Touches Back
when you walk by the low rock wall
where the ground might trip you yet
and your hand touches stone
and the stone touches back
we are fine
just fine
where the waters rise and fall
and you feel the colding sand
does it make you catch your breath?
at the place where life and death
holding hands
we are fine, just fine
we are fine
i thought i lost you in the dark
we quit the world alone
but i looked anyway
and there you were
there you were
i could fall in winter
i could turn into snow
even as i’m falling
we are fine, just holding hands
if just to hold hands
holding hands
we are fine, just fine
we are fine
when you walk by the low rock wall
where the ground might trip you yet
and your hand touches stone
and the stone touches back
we are fine
just fine
