Lyrics Sarah Kernochan - Stone's Throw Away

Far off a dog barks like dogs like to do
What a night for feeling like a borrowed shoe
If a platefull of Martians came flying by
Lighting up the sky, I wouldn't bat an eye
Thanks for the letter of two months ago
Was it addressed to anyone I know
Why write a note anyway
I'm only a stone's throw away

Stone's throw, (stones thrown) stone's throw (stones thrown), stones thrown away, hey
Stone's throw, stones thrown away, hey...

All alone now I can speak out of turn
Light a dangerous fire and watch it burn
Better yet instead, try to make some bread
Try to get ahead
Couldn't blame you for loving to be free
That's what I like to think is the best thing for me
Let's compare notes, hey, I'm only a stone's throw away

Stone's throw, stones thrown away, hey...

S'pose I'll think of something I ought to do
But some of me is caught up inside of you
Bring on the day, hey
It's only a stone's throw away

Stone's throw, stones thrown away, hey...
Stone's throw, stones thrown away, hey...
Stone's throw, stones thrown away, hey...
Stone's throw, stones thrown away, hey...

(fade)
