Shashunk sighs happily as she lays on a large comfy couch. Upon the guest's arrival she leaps up and begins to speak,"After thinking of the basic plot line of 'The Stone' I decided themed chapters would do nicely. I scrounged around in my music collection in order to find a song whose lyrics applied. After what seemed like decades I came upon the Dave Matthews Band song named (you guessed it):The Stone. The title of every chapter is derived from this song... and every title connects to the chapter I might add. So here are the full lyrics to 'The Stone'...enjoy!"


The Stone : Dave Matthews Band


I have this creeping suspicion that things here are not as they seem,

Reassure me, Why do I feel as if I’m in too deep?

Now I’ve been praying for some way to show them I’m not what they see,

Yes I have done wrong, but what I did I thought needed be done,

I swear.



Oh unholy day,

If I leave now I might get away.

Oh but this weighs on me, as heavy as stone and as blue as I go.

I was just wondering if you’d come along?

Hold up my head when my head won’t hold on.

I’ll do the same if the same’s what you want,

If not I’ll go, I will go alone



I’m a long way

From that fool’s mistake

And now forever pay,

No, run

I will run and I’ll be okay

I was just wondering if you’d come along?

Hold up my head when my head won’t hold on

I’ll do the same if the same’s what you want

But if not I’ll go

I will go alone



To bury the past for I don’t want to pay.

Oh how I wish this, to turn back the clock and do over again.

Now I’m just wondering if you’d come along?

Hold up my head when my head won’t hold on,

I’ll do the same if the same’s what you want.

If not I’ll go

I’ll go alone



I need so

To stay in your arms, see you smile, hold you close

And how it weighs on me

As heavy as stone and a bone chilling cold

I was just wondering if you’d come along

Tell me you will...
