~*~Stone Wishes~*~
a song by ishida

Watching her
Back to me
There's something about her
I can see
It hurts her to move
To sing
Only simple things
Complete her waiting tasks

Before I know it
I want to touch her
And hold her
Wrapped up in my arms
Away from harm
The warmth of her breath
On my bare skin
Ooooh, let it sink in

There are times
When I wonder if
It's a feeling called love
Wrapped
In a black blanket
That covers her heart
I don't want for us
To be apart

She's crying tears of bittersweet acid
Her eyes, they shimmer, still and placid
But her hands shake as she drops three dishes
I know it's cold, her stone wishes

She stands all day
And sleeps so little
I want to take her away
From this place that works her so hard
In the dark
It's not the way it's supposed to be
Locked away
From the rest of the world
Uh-uh
Not this girl

Her pale hands brushes mine
While kneeling on the floor
Picking up
Pieces of glass
May I ask
If I can help her
She shakes her head
And tosses hair about
It's not right
I say
Maybe some other day
It's a whisper
That comes from her lips

Shes' crying tears of bittersweet acid
Her eyes, they shimmer, still and placid
But her hands shake as she drops three dishes
I know it's cold, her stone wishes

Baby, all I want is to help you
Take you away from this place
It's on your face
I can see
There's nothing better than flying with me
Come on, girl
Leave this mess behind
And come with me

Her eyes look at me
Suddenly full of hope
And joy
Her hand takes mine
I help her to her feet
I'm grateful, she says
That you want to help me
But don't you see
My place is here

She's crying tears of bittersweet acid
Her eyes, they shimmer, still and placid
But her hands shake as she drops three dishes
I know it's cold, her stone wishes

Fingers touch my face
That's very sweet of you
But I'm needed here
Drying dishes of teal blue
Don't you cry
I'll come to you someday
I'll never
Be far
From here

She turns away from me
Dips her hands
In bubbling water
She scubs once more
Broken dishes left on the floor
She says
Leave

She's crying tears of bittersweet acid
Her eyes, they shimmer, still and placid
But her hands shake as she drops three dishes
I know it's cold, her stone wishes

I'm crying tears of bittersweet acid
My eyes, they shimmer, still and placid
But my lips tremble and yearn for her kisses
I know it's cold, my stone wishes
