Break a Rock

Midnight beating on that door, rain burning in my heart

I can hum a melody for a broken star

Going down under the hairs on my chest

Beneath the bone where my heart won't rest

She said she knew me best and when I left I was really gone forever

There's that pickaxe filling the glass, until it got to the top

I didn't know you could break a rock

When a beauty queen comes round town and I know what I am not

I was a ghost for the rain that dropped, I didn't know that was all I got

When I left my hometown, I didn't know you could break a rock

When I left my hometown she said

I love you more than all the angels do

These streets of your desire weren't made for you

Sail away in the storm on your young silver wings

When I left my hometown

I was walking alone and no

I didn't know you could break a rock

I thought I heard you say two lives can't be the same

When we were skipping stones on frozen lakes

It breaks the ice from the cliffs that were green

But you never say what you really mean

There's that pickaxe filling the glass, until it got to the top

I didn't know you could break a rock

When a beauty queen comes round town and I know what I am not

I was a ghost for the rain that dropped, I didn't know that was all I got

When I left my hometown, I didn't know you could break a rock

When I left my hometown she said

I love you more than all the angels do

These streets of your desire weren't made for you

Sail away in the storm on your young silver wings

When I left my hometown

I was walking alone and no

I didn't know you could break a rock
