Stone's Throw

Went out for a drink with a

Friend from a while back, her

Triumphs and trials

Ringing clearer than my phone

And that drink turned into three, happy

Hour into bedtime

You were drowning in your head

When I came floating home

Babe, are you okay?

I was only a stone's throw away

You shook as you recounted your

Flight of fancy that

Crashed when I didn't answer

Your distress signal

And you wondered aloud if you were

Better off without me on some

Distant mountain

In complete control

Lonely but safe

Now I'm just a stone's throw away

When we let it fly

Babe it hurts like hell

Gotta set our sights

On someone else

The throes of love

Are unrelenting

Sometimes a common enemy is

Your best friend

Look we may be a lot but we're

Not as much as they are, bet she'd

Rather she never heard him

Call again

When the seeds that we've sown

Are choking on stones

Remember the neighbors

They're only a stone's throw away
