Sink Like A Stone

William Topley · Other Songs - William Topley

Give me something I can't hold on

And I have never known much love

Give me something I can't hold on much more

And you to me mean oh so much



Said I hope you can cling to the wreckage and stop from drowning

Stop spinning the floor, stop the scenery falling down



Well you can't make love on your own

And you won't get no blood from no stone

And you can't make it right

With two wrongs in one night baby learn my way

And you'd best have a whole lotta soul

If you plan getting by on your own

You can sink like a stone in some hole of your own

And just hide away



Give me something I can't hold on

And I can't place much faith in love

Send me out for something that ain't there no more

Something that once meant so much



Said I hope you can cling to the wreckage and stop from drowning

Get back on your drums and stop letting them break you down



Well you can't make love on your own

And you won't get no blood from no stone

And you can't make it right

With two knives in the night baby learn my way

And you'd best have a whole lotta soul

If you plan getting by on your own

You can sink like a stone in some hole of your own

And just hide away



And now you tell me that you don't know why

Your hands are shaking and your mouth feels dry



Well you can't make love on your own

And you won't get no blood from no stone

And you can't make it right

With two guns in the night baby learn my way

And you'd best have a whole lotta soul

If you plan getting by on your own

You can sink like a stone in some hole of your own

And just hide away



You got to give up

If you want to live it up
