Southside Johnny & the Asbury Jukes - Hearts of Stone lyrics

(B. Springsteen)

You stare in the mirror at the lines in your face

And you try so hard to see

The way things were when we were at your place

Everyday was just you and me

And you cry because things ain't like before

Well, don't you know it can't be that way anymore

But don't worry baby

I can't talk now, I'm not alone

So put your ear close to the phone

This is the last dance, the last chance

For hearts of stone

If there was something, baby, that I could do

Something that would last, honey, I would

But you should know better than to think that you

Can return to the past

So close your eyes and I'll be there

Hold you once more,not go anywhere

I wish I could, babe

But I can't talk now, I'm not alone

So put your ear close to the phone

This is the last dance, the last chance

For hearts of stone

And you cry because things get so strange so fast

And you cry because nothing good ever lasts

Well, I know babe

Yes, I know, babe

But I can't talk now, I'm not alone

So put your ear close to the phone

'Cause this is the last dance, the last chance

For hearts of stone

This is the last dance, the last chance

For hearts of stone
