why you chose me
why you hold me so tight
why you need me there by your side

all your struggle
all your pain
i understand what’s aching you

if i can, well
i will try
to make all your trouble dissapear

but if i do then
i’ll soon be dead
all the trouble for me would reappear

so if you fall for me
if you cry for me someday
i won’t pity you
for my heart is a grinding stone

grinding stone
grinding stone
grinding stone
grinding stone

so i’m here to tell you
you can cry alone
as i have forwarned
you of that day

and then you’ll know why
why you chose me
and why you needed me there by your side

it wasn’t just me
speaking softly
my heart hardened
in the garden of eden

why am I bound to thee
oh you my lovely Myrtle Tree?
for often i sigh alone in vain

so if you fall for me
if you cry for me someday
i won’t pity you
for my heart is a grinding stone
