Andrew North - Set in Stone Lyrics

If our days are only ever set in stone
Can I put my pen to paper, I don't know
And if the nuts and bolts inside your head can never quite be known
Seems to me we're set in stone we're set in stone
Seems to me we're set in stone we're set in stone

I meet her eyes across the table but no words
The leaves drift to the ground outside, departing birds
And though we once roamed mountains, obligations pull us down to chairs
In tidy little rows we're set in stone
In tidy classroom rows we're set in stone

I don't believe the answer's out there
A sea of red tail lights that wicked glare
Avert your eyes, don't meet his stare
I didn't pull you from that line to spend your precious life like this
Seems to me we're set in stone we're set in stone
Seems to me we're set in stone

The soldiers stand in solitary rows
Can the vanquished ride again? I just don't know
And as I walk among them now I hear them calling out to me
Today you fly but can't you see we're set in stone we're set in stone
Today you fly but can't you see we're set in stone

I don't believe the answer's out there
A sea of red tail lights that wicked glare
Avert your eyes, don't meet his stare
I didn't pull you from that line to spend your precious life like this
Seems to me we're set in stone we're set in stone
In tidy little rows we're set in stone

I don't believe the answer's out there
A sea of red tail lights that wicked glare
Avert your eyes, don't meet his stare
I didn't pull you from that line to spend your precious life like this
I didn't pull you from that line to spend your precious life like this
I didn't pull you off that line for you to come apart like this

Seems to me we're set in stone we're set in stone
In tidy little rows we're set in stone we're set in stone
Gone are the days, we're set in stone we're set in stone
Seems to me we're set in stone we're set in stone
