Sinking Like Stone

SINKING LIKE STONE - Written by Carroll Bryant

Paradise is broken

Now I can finally believe

Believe in something

Well, it’s nothing

And nothing is all I can see

Rags to riches my soul

My heart takes a pounding

Closing my eyes to which way I go

And I don’t know where I’m going

Sinking like stone

Back to being alone

A lonely telephone

And a road paved out of nothing but fools gold

Sinking like stone

It’s back to being alone

I can’t find myself a home

On this lonely road

The universe is shrinking

Time keeps running out

Running out on me

Well, it’s trying

And time is all I see

Warm to cold is the heart

Filled with good intentions

Forces me to fall apart

And I don’t know what it is saying

Sinking like stone

Back to being alone

A lonely telephone

And a road paved out of nothing but fools gold

Sinking like stone

It’s back to being alone

I can’t find myself a home

On this lonely road

This lonely road is sinking like a stone

One lie from another breeds another

Nothing but a useless, wishful lover

One weak or too strong

There is no right or wrong

Only untrue love 

Paradise is broken

Now I can finally believe

Believe in something

Well, it’s nothing

And nothing is all I can see

Sinking like stone

Back to being alone

A lonely telephone

And a road paved out of nothing but fools gold

Sinking like stone

It’s back to being alone

I can’t find myself a home

On this lonely road

This lonely road is sinking like a stone

Sinking like stone
