Chiseled in Stone
Lyrics
You ran crying to the bedroom
I ran off to the bar
Another piece of heaven
Gone to hell
Those words we spoke in anger
Just tore my world apart
And I sat there feeling sorry
For myself
Then an old man sat down beside me
Looked me in the eye
He said, son
I know what you're going through
You ought to get down on your knees
And thank your lucky stars
That you got someone
To go home to
You don't know about lonely
Or how long nights can be
Till you've been through the story
That's still living in me
And you don't know about sadness
Till you've faced life alone
You don't know about lonely
Till it's chiseled in stone
So I brought these pretty flowers
Hoping you would understand
Sometimes a man
Is such a fool
Those golden words of wisdom
From the heart of that old man
Showed me I ain't nothing
Without you
You don't know about lonely
Or how long nights can be
Till you've been through the story
That old man just told me
You don't know about sadness
Till you've faced life alone
You don't know about lonely
Till it's chiseled in stone
You don't know about lonely
Till it's chiseled in stone
