Arnold Hill - Heart of Stone Lyrics

Wade in the water
Little children you are far away from home
I will take you from your father
And your mother's gonna wonder where you've roamed
And your eyes will grow as cold as this heart of stone

So come down by the river
And take a seat beside me there
You will dream of love and laughter
While my fingers run through your hair

Wade in the water
Little children you are far away from home
I will take you from your father
And your mother's gonna wonder where you've roamed
And your eyes will grow as cold as this heart of stone

No cries, no sounds, when I move in
Dig my spear into your skin
I'll send you home and wave goodbye
Knowing you won't see tomorrow's light

Wade in the water
Little children you are far away from home
I will take you from your father
And your mother's gonna wonder where you've roamed
And your eyes will grow as cold as this heart of stone

They came with flame, they came with bow
To list my sins that I may sow
No harsher trial that I should pay
In that old bear trap that is my final grave

My body laid in certain hell
For how long, no one could tell
But legends live inside your head
What's put to rest, may not be put to death

Wade in the water
Little children you are far away from home
I will take you from your father
And your mother's gonna wonder where you've roamed
And your eyes will grow as cold as this heart of stone

So if you hear an old voice whisper
Coming from the riverside
Hide your children from the rapids
'Cause my spirit never dies
