Petrified Wood

Across a wind blown plain All other rocks are crushed to tiny grain But memories of our love remain Inside my heart that's turned to Petrified Wood All other love was just sand That ran down through the space between fingers on my hand Back down in a pile of denial And mistrust When all of that was carried away by the wind Left above ground was just us Impervious to the elements Like a testament Doesn't seem decadent But encapsulates our sentiments My heart frozen in stone Your love made my heart last longer than my bones Echos bounce when you say my name Fingers down my cheek like gentle rain You are sewn into my soul for good Stay When my heart turns into Petrified Wood Our love was a tree rising high Branches like arms holding up the sky My heart can never say goodbye So now it's locked inside this Petrified Wood In a million years When the surface of the earth is rearranged My heart will remain on this range unchanged It holds our memories in sedimentary tapestry Affably hugging our family in geographic opacity Our sensitivity mixed with unforgiving pugnacity All our smiles And of our laughs All of our embraces forever intrapt Echos bounce when you say my name Fingers down my cheek like gentle rain You are sewn into my soul for good Stay When my heart turns into Petrified Wood Echos bounce when you say my name Fingers down my cheek like gentle rain You are sewn into my soul for good Stay When my heart turns into Petrified Wood
