He's just the kind of man

Your hear about

Who leaves his family for

An easy out

They never saw the signs

He never said a word

He couldn't take another day



Carry me to the shoreline

Bury me in the sand

Walk me across the water

And maybe you'll understand



Once the stone

You're crawling under

Is lifted off your shoulders

Once the cloud that's raining

Over your head disappears

The noise that you'll hear

Is the crashing down of hollow years



She's not the kind of girl

You hear about

She'll never want another

She'll never be without

She'll give you all the signs

She'll tell you everything

Then turn around and walk away



Carry me to the shoreline

Bury me in the sand

Walk me across the water

And maybe you'll understand



Once the stone

You're crawling under

Is lifted off your shoulders

Once the cloud that's raining

Over your head disappears

The noise that you'll hear

Is the crashing down of hollow years



Carry me to the shoreline

Bury me in the sand

Walk me across the water

And maybe you'll understand



Once the stone

You're crawling under

Is lifted off your shoulders

Once the cloud that's raining

Over your head disappears

The noise that you'll hear

Is the crashing down of hollow years
