lyrics

They brought him out
and laid him bare
I look at the exit
and wished that I wasn't there

The snow turned to rain
and the the mourners moved
left me standing there
looking at my well polished shoes

He was stone
he did not move
and he helped me anytime that I needed him to
He was cold
mountain strong
and I feel him standing next to me though his shadow is long gone
he was my home
made of stone

In the bar
the old men did tell
of the things he loved
and the places he knew so well
i stood there and
drank a few
told those stories
like he used to

He was stone
he did not break
though the wind and the rain were sometime too much for him to take
He was broad
His anger slow
and it was him that I would turn to when this world laid me low
He was my home
made of stone

and back home in their bed
my two kids tucked up tight
their two eyes twinkling
like the stars so bright

i will be stone
and I will try
to stand beside you if those dark days come by
I cannot promise
to pass this test
but I will bloody by knuckles
and I will make it my best
to be your home
made of stone.

Chris Speck Hull, UK

English folk and country singer and writer.

All the music here is original apart from 'The Game of All Fours' which was adapted from a traditional English folk song.

I like chips, mushy peas, warm beer, a red headed girl and my kids. Not in that order of course and some I like more than others. ... more
