City Of Stone

verse 1: I dreamed I was lost in a city of stone And the people that dwelled there were marble I listened in vain for any fountainâ??s silver tone In vain for any sweet birdâ??s friendly warble 1: It was silent as the grave in that city of stone Not one soul to save Not one voice to cheer me on I was frightened in my heart And cold to the bone As I wandered in my dream Through that city of stone verse 2: I dreamed I was lost in a city of stone And the people that dwelled there were marble I wandered the alleyways in search of my home At a familiar place I rang the doorbell 2: No one re-plied, but the door swung open wide So I stepped in-side My house to look u-pon All cobwebs and ashes All signs of live were gone And I feared for my soul In that city of stone verse 3: The most precious of gifts come in the strangest of forms Sweet life quickens even in the charnel Sometimes weâ??re granted visions That serve us as a warning How our passing deeds are writ in stone e-ternal 3: So make not your heart into a city of stone The higher that you build those walls The surer over-thrown For here stands a man Who turned back from too far gone When he dreamed he was lost In a city of stone Yes, here stands a man Who turned back from too far gone Oh, I dreamed I was lost in a city of stone.
