Stone By Stone Lyrics - Catatonia

You always hear the shouts 

From my battalion 

And send toy soldiers out to 

Help me stand 

And when I see you hide 

Behind those curtain folds 

I cross the room to turn the 

Lights down low 

On common ground 

We'll build our castle walls 

We'll build them stone 

By stone and how 

With more and more 

You know it won't take long 

Where it burned orange 

Let it burn gold 

I wouldn't like to learn 

A lesson everyday 

Good times, bad times 

It's just the price you pay 

But given half the chance 

Of turning back the tide 

I'll stay at home and keep 

My boys in line 

On common ground 

We'll build our castle walls 

We'll build them stone 

By stone and how 

And more and more 

You know it won't take long 

Where it burned orange 

Let it burn gold 

And given half the chance 

To turn the hands of time 

I'm always the bridesmaid 

Couldn't live with myself 

If I tried to be the bride 

On common ground 

We'll build our castle walls 

We'll build them stone 

By stone and how 

With more and more 

You know it won't take long 

Where it burned orange 

Let it burn gold 

On common ground 

We'll build our castle walls 

We'll build them stone 

By stone and how 

With more and more 

You know it won't take long 

Where it burned orange 

Let it burn gold 

On common ground 

We'll build our castle walls 

We'll build them stone 

By stone and how 

With more and more 

You know it won't take long 

Where it burned orange 

Let it burn gold 

On common ground 

We'll build our castle walls 

We'll build them stone
