skipping stones and gathering dust

'Skipping stone'

I don't know if I can do this alone
Oh after all our sweet love is flown
I've been a running
I've been skipping like a stone
And I don't know if I
I can do this all alone

When I met her she was standing by a door
I ain't never seen a light like that before
Now she's left me for something more sure
And I don't know if I
I can do this anymore

'Cause lovers will come, lovers will go
This rare seed are from which true love might grow
If you see her, won't you please say hello
'Cause I don't know if I can do this alone

'Gathering dust'

I got no reason
but that I must
maybe I feel
like I've been gathering dust
I must leave this harbour for the sea
I'm too young to settle down and make a home
but I don't know where I'm wanting to be
I just know I have to be there alone

Stole my time,
all my time
stole my time,
for you

Pale winter sun
is beating the ground
why am I throwing away
the best thing that I've found
My young heart's in tatters and I'm sure
that it will be a long time healing
It's so hard to see what I'm doing this for
when loneliness is all that I'm feeling

Stole my time, all my time
spent my time, for you

CHORUS
Now the wind it is blowing
blowing leaves from the trees
I've got no use knowing
that with time it will ease
I don't know where I'm going
hope I get there soon
'Cos my soul is hollow
as the sorrowful moon
na na na na...

CHORUS

Oh the night is raining on my weary head
taking my back

See the sun spread wings of gold
as the dawn unfurls
hear the song that the moon sings
to the darkened world
Feel the fire lighting
in the bitter cold
It's the light that shines
through the windows of your soul
Windows of your soul
