in the soft stone of my heart
there’s etched a memory
of you and me
red with laughter
and now we’re so far apart
phonelines bring you to me
you don’t know what to say
funny thing, i know just what you mean
but don’t tell me you’re lonely
cause i’m way over here
and don’t let me catch you crying
cause i can’t reach those tears
it’s been my way to risk it all
and maybe fall flat on my face
yeah the glory or the gutter
i need to put a smile on your face
but maybe i try too hard
maybe you must go through
this battle that you’re fighting
i can’t come to the rescue
