there's a stone out in the garden
you pick it up, and you pocket it away
there's a little place in your heart
and it holds those things that you're never gonna say

well you think you're so smart
and you know me so well, at least for today
and the whispering trees sing a song
and no one hears what they've done wrong

and you have been, time and again, my most beautiful friend
and everything is good in the dark

this is a song of redemption and of sin and of sin
why won't you let me into your heart, into your heart i don't know

there's a stone now on your nightstand
you pick it up and you cast it away
yeah the snow falls and you feel all
of your time just slipping away

yeah you think you're so smart
and you know me so well, or you did yesterday
and the trees stand so silent on these white winter days

and you have been, time and again, my most beautiful friend
and everything is good when it snows

this is a song of redemption and of sin and of sin
why won't you let me into your heart, into your heart i don't know

we sing songs in the garden in the dark, in the dark
the trees look on and they sing their part
oh but it's so damn hard cause we don't really know how they go
we sing songs in the garden in the dark, in the dark
the trees look on and they sing their part
oh but it's goddamn hard cause we don't really know how they go

and you have been, time and again, my most beautiful friend

song i can't finish (beautiful friend)
