Man Of Stone

It could have been a million years ago or maybe yesterday

I crawled out of this wilderness, a debt I had to pay

I must have tipped the scales somewhere way back

Never saw the seeds I'd sewn

So now I travel backwards looking for a man of stone



A foggy night, a neon light... I've seen him standing there

Movin' where the shadows creep¨c¨cno he never did play fair

And one night I almost got him, but I knew you'd tapped my phone

And communication is dangerous, lookin' for a man of stone



With juan in argentina I thought I saw him in the street

In a seaplane over hydra he sat in the captain's seat

And I've chased him from the colosseum down the spanish steps in rome

And history just gets hazy lookin' for a man of stone



In the mornin' out your I saw him leanin' on a tree

Wearin' a snappy suit of grey and then he motioned to me

He pointed with his finger, as if to say my soul he owned

But I had sold that long ago to you lookin' for a man of stone



Now I sit in this burnt out barn they call the raven's nest

Drinkin' bloody monkeys, your name tattooed on my chest

Sometimes I think of juan or you¨c¨cor sometimes I think of hime

And sometimes I don't think of anything but lookin'

for (that's right) a man of stone
