I've been throwing stones, waiting by the river I've been on my own, praying like a sinner You've been gone too long, I'm waiting out the winter I've been on my knees, praying like, praying like a sinner Well you've built a city right in me And brick by brick and piece by piece And love in both your hands Try to make an honest man From when I woke until I went to sleep You planned my life so carefully Sculpted me like clay, I can see you in my face And I never thought I'd live this life without your guiding light I've been throwing stones, waiting by the river I've been on my own, praying like a sinner You've been gone too long, I'm waiting out the winter I've been on my knees, praying like, praying like a sinner And I heard the walls are paper thin From where you are to where I am But I don't feel a thing If you are, keep pulling strings And send on down a message please Light a boat, go home my dreams I'd just like to know That you hear me, that you're close And I never thought I'd live this life without your guiding light I've been throwing stones, waiting by the river I've been on my own, praying like a sinner You've been gone too long, I'm waiting out the winter I've been on my knees, praying like, praying like a sinner You've been gone for too long You've been gone for too long I've been throwing stones, waiting by the river I've been on my own, praying like a sinner You've been gone too long, I'm waiting out the winter I've been on my knees, praying like I've been throwing stones, waiting by the river I've been on my own, praying like a sinner You've been gone too long, I'm waiting out the winter I've been on my knees, praying like, praying like a sinner Praying like a sinner I've been throwing stones, waiting by the river I've been on my own, praying like a sinner You've been gone too long, I'm waiting out the winter And I've been on my knees, praying like, praying like a sinner
