Lyrics
Feet Of Clay
(Copyright RobRoy West Music)
That faraway look in your eyes
is somethin' that I never saw before
sure ain't the love light I been lookin' for
can it mean that you don't love me any more?
This ain't no time for askin' why
with nothing there to build my hopes upon
proudly I say I'll just be movin' on
but the words are empty and it sounds all wrong
Feet of clay
up against a heart of stone
Girl if you don't love me
where's the threat in sayin' that I'm gone?
Ain't no way
to ever turn this thing around
Hearts of stone will always wear you down
Just once I'd like to see you cry
any indication that I'm gettin' through
to touch your heart and make you love me too
that's somethin' else I'm never gonna do
It just remains to say goodbye
I put my suitcase over by the stair
hopin' to God this gives your heart a scare
But there's just one problem - you don't really care
Feet of clay
up against a heart of stone
every time I touch you
it just skins my fingers to the bone
ain't no way
to ever turn this thing around
Hearts of stone will always wear you down
