The Stone Touches Back


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
