lyrics

I saw a story when I was a child.
It's a story you know inside out,
Of broken hearts and second chances,
Worn out souls and shy romances.
It's a story that you know so well.
It starts with a look and it ends with a bell.
But it's a story that you wouldn't expect,
It's a story that you rarely get.

Dark night, old stone, I am Wood Heart, you are Cold Bone.

We don't get names, we are what we are:
Man in a Crowd, Woman at the Bar.
This a tale you can call your own,
You are Wood Heart, you are Cold Bone.

Dark night, old stone, You are Wood Heart, I am Cold Bone.

When the heroes and liars have gone their ways,
And the book has been closed at the final page,
We get a chance to see what's next;
See what happens for those who are left.
For the also-rans and the supporting cast,
For the ones who came second and the ones who came last,
For the bit parts and the walk-on roles,
For the people like us and the people we know.

Dark night, warm hearth, Cold Bone, Wood Heart.
Long day, old stone, we are Wood Heart, we are Cold Bone.
