lyrics

Stonewalled

Searching for the words so elusive and withdrawn
I had something to tell you all and now I fear it’s gone
Stone wall in my head again
The inspiration disappears with the touch down of my pen

So easy she comes and goes
Whispers her songs from deep in your shadows
So easy she comes and goes
When she’ll be around again nobody knows

Oh, I chased that devil through the details when I lunged he slipped away
I stalked him though the black and white now he’s hiding in the gray
Stone wall in my head again
Oh, I’m just standing here looking dumb what the hell was I thinking

So easy she comes and goes
Whispers her songs from deep in your shadows
So easy she comes and goes
When she’ll be around again nobody knows

You can ride the train of thought or swim that stream of consciousness
In the end the road still piles high nouns, verbs, and adjectives
Stone wall in my head again
One moment all is crystal clear and the next one I’m snowed in

So easy she comes and goes
Whispers her songs from deep in your shadows
So easy she comes and goes
When she’ll be around again nobody knows
