about

Resolving and justifying and accepting being alone after losing the one you love.

lyrics

I could walk along the water by myself well after dark.
Sit upon a bench for hours all alone in Central Park.
And I don't miss his heartbeat while I'm lying in my bed.
I could watch my favorite TV shows, there's so many books I haven't read.

I could paint when I'm inspired. I could gain a hundred pounds.
Drink till I expire or hike up to the sacred grounds.
And I'm not afraid of 'lonely' while I'm living all alone.
And the only price I had to pay was one old gray stone.
The only price I had to pay was one old gray stone.

When I wake up in the morning I feel the sunlight shining through.
I pick up my guitar and play. That's the only thing I want to do.
And I'm not afraid of thunder while I'm lying all alone.
And the only price I had to pay was one old gray stone.
The only price I had to pay was one old gray stone.

I'm tired. So I've retired.
As I sit by the fire, I don't look back at the dreams that will never come true.
And I'm not lonely, cuz I'm my own one and only.
And I don't think I'm homely.
But losing him has turned me in to one old gray stone.
Yeah, losing him has turned me in to one old gray stone.
The only price I had to pay was one old gray stone.
