Stone House

Can I buy you an ice cream cone? Call you every night on the telephone? Until one day I make my way Up to the gate of your big stone house Maybe some wine and candlelight Or driving out late on a rainy night Until I see You smile at me From the top-story window of your big Stone house. Now everybody seems to know your name And all the world it seems can play your game But I can't get by No matter how I try I fall down, fall down (in a rhythm the same) Why? Can I bring a pussy willow up to your door Bang your piano 'til my wrists get sore Until you smile And let me in a while Sittin' with you in your big stone house. Will you come dance in a bar downtown? And drink with me 'til we both fall down? I'll drive and drive 'Til I finally arrive Right up at the gate of your big stone house. Now everybody seems to love your ride And all the world it seems can come inside But I can't get by No matter how I try I fall down, fall down (in a rhythm the same) Why? Can I buy you an ice-cream cone? Can I have you all for my own? Until I find Some peace of mind Up there on the stair of your big stone house.
