Stationary Stone

February 2006, Lake Tahoe / April 16, 2006, Berkeley

And it’s too late tonight
For me to come on out.
Sometimes I need some time to myself.
We could play cards
We could play at hearts
You know, that ain’t out worked out well for me
This far.

Oh, I am all right on my own
And I’d rather be alone
I’m a solitary stone.

And it’s too late tonight
For another rocket west
I am not so easy to know
Though you do your best.
We could play cards, we could play at hearts
But the outcome is uncertain
Though I’m certain
Of my part.

I cannot, I cannot count on everyone
‘Til we learn to be a little better, baby
I’ll be countin’ on this one.

And it’s too late tonight
For me to come on out.
Sometimes I need some time to myself.
We could play cards
We could play at hearts
You know, that ain’t out worked out well for me
This far.

I am all right on my own.
And I’d rather stay at home.
I’m a stationary, I’m a solitary
I am not a rolling stone!
I’m a stationary, I’m a solitary,
This stone rocks alone!
