A Stone Would Cry Out Lyrics


The cinematic after effects of alcohol
Have led me to believe
That there's nothing more beautiful
Than a face as it starts to fadeFrom your memory
What had once been clear as the day
Obscured by the shade
And I was always the thorn to your roseA long string of disappointing days
Led me to concede that I'd been losing sleep
And I'm tired and frayed at the seams
And things are changing in meIt's been two hard months
Since I could call you my own, it cuts to the bone
Is there anything that I can do
When I've been turned into stone?But I was always the thorn to your rose
Some doors are better left closedYou move like a rolling wave
One that don't fade when it's gone
Beyond a doubt it gets so hard
That a stone would cry outI know there's a lesson in here
But it's so hard to find

I've been searching my mindA little pearl of wisdom for the later years
When the thread of this life starts to unwindI never had to fight for my love
But that's over I know
It's just how it goesI never had to fight for my love
But that's over I know
It's just how it goesAnd you move like a rolling wave
One that don't fade when it's gone
Beyond a doubt it gets so hard, it gets so hard
That a stone would cry outSome doors are better left closed
Some say this place makes it hard to hold your head up
Some days this face makes me feel like I've been set up

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
Sam Roberts is a Canadian rock singer-songwriter, based in Montreal, Quebec. His 2001 debut release, The Inhuman Condition became one of the bestselling independent releases in Quebec and Canadian music history.

Born in Pointe-Claire, Quebec, he attended Loyola High School and McGill University. Roberts formed the band William in 1993. The band's name was changed to Northstar in 1996. Although the band gained some notice in independent rock circles, they couldn't break through to a national audience, and broke up in the late 1990s. Roberts' bandmate George Donoso went on to significant success in indie rock circles with The Dears, but Roberts struggled for several years afterward.

In 2000 Roberts began his solo career by independently releasing his first studio album, Brother Down. The album was largely unsuccessful but the title track would later go on to be re-recorded and re-released on a six-song EP titled The Inhuman Condition. The EP sold slowly at first, but by the summer of 2002 Roberts was all over the Canadian airwaves: his first single "Brother Down" had become one of the biggest Canadian hits of the year, and the follow up single "Don't Walk Away Eileen" quickly followed suit.

Roberts then signed to Universal Music, releasing his full-length debut, We Were Born In A Flame, in 2003. That album's singles, "Where Have All the Good People Gone?", "Hard Road", "Brother Down" and "Don't Walk Away Eileen", became major hits, especially in Canada.

The band's album Chemical City, produced with Joseph Donovan and released on April 11, 2006, got major radio play in Canada after its release, especially the single "The Gate".

The band's latest release, the album Love at the End of the World (May 20, 2008), included the song "Them Kids", which reached #1 on the Canadian indie chart (the R3-30), and also #1 on CFNY's Thursday 30 chart.
