perfecta is bliss.

i've have covered stone at a number of my live performances, so i was already very familiar with the song. i often play solo, accompanied only by an acoustic guitar and this song really lends itself well to that sort of interpretation. having been given this excuse to record it gave me a chance to come a little bit closer to what i hear in my head when i think of stone.

jared was fortunate enough to have recorded a project at the green room and john has been a fan of gene's various work since long before i knew of him. i am very thankful to them for their support on this project.

there's a lot for me to say
about a hundred ways for me to wrap my words
around your face
but it won't do any good
i never really could convince you
that when i said to leave i meant "please stay"
there i've said it now
too late
it's late, i've got to get up early
i'm late, i've got to get some sleep, baby
it seems crazy to me, maybe
i'd like to turn to stone tonight
and try to forget that day that i chased you
away, baby
will you be comin' home tonight

if i'm sitting in some bar
or driving in my car
i don't really think of you at all
but back here in my room
with the morning comin' soon
i roll around and wonder where you are
and where you'd rather be this late
too late, i've got to get up early
hey i'm dying to get some sleep, baby
it seems crazy to me, maybe
i'd love to turn to stone tonight
and try to forget that day that i lost you
i know what's it's like to be alone
will you be coming home

it's not my history
this song's not about me, at all
just trying to conjure up some fantasy
do you believe me now
this late
too late, i've got to get up early
hey...
it's me
it's me
are you coming home
