He's just a kind of man  You hear about  Who leaves his family for  An easy out   He never saw the signs   They never said a word  He couldn't take another day    Carry me to the shoreline  Bury me in the sand  Walk me across the water  And maybe you'll understand    Once the stone  You're crawling under  Is lifted  Off your shoulders  Once the the cloud that's raining  Once you head disappears  The noise that you'll hear  Is the crashing down of hollow years    She's not the kind of girl  You hear about  She'll never want another  She'll never be without  She'll give you all the signs  She'll tell you everything  Then turn around and walk away    Carry me to the shoreline  Bury me in the sand  Walk me across the water  And maybe you'll understand    Once the stone  You're crawling under  Is lifted off your shoulders  Once the cloud that's raining  Over you head disappears  The noise that you'll hear  Is the crashing down of hollow years    Carry me to the shoreline  Bury me in the sand  Walk me across the water  And maybe you'll understand    Once the stone  You're crawling under  Is lifted off your shoulders  Once the cloud that's raining  Over you head disappears  The noise that you'll hear  Is the crashing down of hollow years.
