Sacred Heart Of Stone Lyrics

SACRED HEART OF STONE

by Gerry Goffin & Carole King



Sacred heart, sacred heart of stone

Even the sword of love cannot penetrate you

Sacred heart, sacred heart of stone

I used to love you

Now I think I hate you



When I was younger I believed your lies

Your shield and armor that would not compromise

You won your war with a ghostly kiss

Whoever thought it would come to this

Sacrd heart, sacred heart of stone



Sacred heart, sacred heart of stone

Maybe if I saw you shed a tear

The feeling of love might reappear



You're all alone now

You've got nothing to fear

It'll be your own doin'

To survive in the ruin



I think it's time for me to turn away

You invented the world we're living in today

When you inherit the earth and all its gold

It's not my hand you will get to hold

Sacred heart, sacred heart of stone



Sacred heart, sacred heart of stone

Even the sword of love cannot penetrate you

Sacred heart, sacred heart of stone

I used to love you

Now I think I hate you

Sacred heart of stone
