lyrics

Well, time will help us underline the happy chapters
Now I can't help but see the lie in you ever after
I've no desire to carry on all by my lonesome
I'm just a black stone on the roll when all is said and done
That's the way it goes

But what about the way you held my hand?
The way our fingers seemed to lock so perfectly
The way I felt at ease in your silence
Don't tell me all the dreamy nights were just a dream

Well now I think about it
We could have been so much more
That's the way she goes down
That's the way she drowns

And it could be so easy
It could be so easy
It could be so easy
To let me be the one to change it all

Well time will help us cauterize the open wounds
Sometimes its walking through the fire that lands you the moon
And I've no desire to carry on by my lonesome

I'm just a black stone on the roll when all is said and done
That's the way it goes

But what about the way you held my hand?
The way our fingers seemed to lock so perfectly
The way I felt at ease in your silence
Don't tell me all the dreamy nights were just a dream

Well now I think about it
We could have been so much more
That's the way she goes down
That's the way she drowns

And it could be so easy
It could be so easy
It could be so easy

Stay Tuned!
by Dominique Fils-Aimé

supported by 7 fans who also own “Blackstone”

Modern (as opposed to retro) soul with a jazzy touch. Great voice, good songs, fantastic arrangements - very idiosyncratic approach! The chosen favorite works best when played directly after the preceding one, Where there Is Smoke ;-) Carsten Pieper
