Stones to Throw

Love is like the moon today
Bumpy, bright, and far away
I see you there, but I still feel alone.
You’re up there watching over me
But I need you down here with me
So let the sky grow dark, and take me home.

When you turn away, I feel the blow.
Is there a piece of me that you don’t want to know?
I can’t decide which stones to throw,
when to fight and when it’s time for letting go.

Overgrown with brush and weeds
I’m losing you to entropy
Dishes piled high, and I can’t find your eyes.
If you’re waiting ‘til the house is clean
To hold my hands and look at me
Then we might just as well let our love die.

When you turn away, I feel the blow.
Is there a piece of me that you don’t want to know?
I can’t decide which stones to throw,
when to fight and when it’s time for letting go.

Time heals every hurt, they say,
But there’s no time for us today.
We’ve got kids to mind and bills to pay.
I’m gonna sing the kids a lullaby,
Pour myself a glass of wine
And wait for you to meet me in the moonshine.

Don’t turn away. I need you to know
There’s a piece of me that I’m afraid to show.
My hands are tied. No stones to throw.
Am I fighting you or am I letting go?
