Sink Like A Stone Lyrics by Joe Jordan
She was a flower waiting to bloom
You were the coward, who picked her too soon
Little men, do little things, to little hearts, a little at a time
She was kind, too kind to see
The dark of your eyes, and the grit of your teeth
Oh devil men, do devil things, with devil hands
And walk away just fine
May heaven hear my prayer
If there’s a hell they’ll send you there
Where you deserve to be…
Lonely but never alone
To be haunted by all of your ghosts
To be dragged by your boots
While they tighten your noose
For all of the good years that you stole
Hope you get thrown into water so cold
Then the good lord he heavies your bones
And you sink like a stone
You sink like a stone
Bet You’ll be begging on your knees
For water on your tongue
While the black smoke you breathe
Burns a hole inside your lungs
Oh the pain you gives, the pain you get
You ain’t there yet but just you wait and see
You’ll be lonely but never alone
To be haunted by all of your ghosts
To be dragged by your boots
While they tighten your noose
For all of the good years that you stole
Hope you get thrown into water so cold
Then the good lord he heavies your bones
And you sink like a stone
You sink like a stone
You sink like a stone
