Chiseled In Stone

You ran cryin to the bedroom
 I ran off to the bar
 Another piece of heaven gone to hell
 The words we spoke in anger
 Just tore my world apart
 And I sat there feelin sorry for myself
 Then an old man sat down beside me
 And looked me in the eye
 He said, "Son, I know what you're goin through
 You ought to get down on your knees
 And thank your lucky stars
 That you've got someone to go home to.
 You don't know about lonely
 Or how long nights can be
 Til you've lived through the story
 That's still livin in me
 You don't know about sadness
 Til you've faced life alone
 You don't know about lonely
 Til it's chiseled in stone."
 So I brought these pretty flowers
 Hoping you would understand
 Sometimes a man is such a fool
 Those golden words of wisdom
 From the heart of that old man
 Showed me I ain't nothin without you
 You don't know about lonely
 Or how long nights can be
 Til you've lived through the story
 That old man just told me
 And you don't know about sadness
 Til you've faced life alone
 You don't know about lonely
 Til it's chiseled in stone
 You don't know about lonely
 Til it's chiseled in stone
