On A Stone
Patrick Cannell © 1997
There are eyes on the ceiling and signs in the sky,
There are shapes in the shadows deceptive to the eye,
There are sounds in the workshop and tools on the floor,
There are sparks from the chisel that chisels out the law
On a stone, on a stone, on a stone.
There are hands on the levers and spies in the wall,
There are threats in the silence and echoes in the hall,
There are gaps in the curtains and lights going by,
There is dread on the lips which elaborate the lie
On a stone, on a stone, on a stone.
