Bird and Stone

Bird and Stone
by Shake Russell and Susie Warley

She holds your heart in her hand
No man should ever love that much
Bridges are built to burn she says
That’s what she thinks about love

And the nightingale sings into the night
The fire burns to cinders bright
Castles crumble and melt out of sight
My love has no answers

I am the bird, you are the stone
You’re as constant as the North Star, I’m as fickle as the wind
You show me love like I’ve never known
You’re as steady as Gibraltar, you’re a rock, you are my home
I am the bird

And the morning light upon the rose,
A moment's beauty not meant to hold.
A bird in hand, she’s so free to fly
She folds her wings and falls into your arms

I am the bird, you are the stone
You’re as constant as the North Star, I’m as fickle as the wind
You show me love like I’ve never known
You’re as steady as Gibraltar, you’re a rock you are my home
I am the bird, you are the stone

And I looked to the sky and I cried, I cried
Tell me why does the moon need the sun
And in the mirror of my mind I saw your face shining through
A vision telling me you’re the one

I am the bird, you are the stone
You’re as constant as the North Star, I’m as fickle as the wind
You show me love like I’ve never known
You’re as steady as Gibraltar, you’re a rock you are my home

Well, I am the bird, you are the stone
You’re as constant as the North Star, I’m as fickle as the wind
You show me love like I’ve never known
You’re as steady as Gibraltar, you’re a rock you are my home
I am the bird, you are the stone
