Carved In Stone

Billy was a man
Came from out of town
He didn't belong
To a place called home
Living on his own
Sees things dusk till dawn
And when he dies
Wants his life carved in Stone
Carved in stone

Met him in a diner
Told me a story
How life can be
A simple mystery
He bought me whiskey
We drank all night long
His own secret
Wants his life Carved in Stone
Carved in Stone

Gimme one more reason
Gimme some more time
Tell me the reason
Leave it not to chance
Tell me "What's the use?"
Tell me "What is wrong?"
My own history
Will be carved in stone
Carved in stone

Nothing seems so right
Nothing seems so wrong
When your life is carved in stone
When your life is carved in stone

People say to me
"There a possibility
of running away
showing signs you are scared"
Billy knows how
To hide his emotions
And when he dies
His life will be
Carved in stone
Carved in stone
Carved in stone
Carved in stone
Carved in stone

Nothing seems so right
Nothing seems so wrong
When your life is carved in stone
When your life is carved in stone
