Heart of Stone

He tied a hanging knot
Around the wrong tree
He strode into the summer night
But never set me free

He walked upon a lonely road
But never walked alone
He kept this wicked woman’s soul
Inside his heart of stone

Baby girl seventeen
Pretty nubile Nile river queen
Castle down in New Orleans
And secrets buried deep
In a heart of stone

Don’t let me fall
Onto this hard heart of stone

I walked upon a lonely road
And fell into the night
I carry them all with me now
Like devils carry light

Don’t let me fall
Onto this hard heart of stone
