Precious Stone

I danced in the surf
at the edge of an ocean
could have been someone else
could have been anything at all
don't deny that you ask yourself
how do you weigh in
this precious stone?
I stumbled on a flaw in the order
unwrapped the gift and spread
the sheet to the border
there's no virtue if there's no sin
how do you weigh in
this precious stone
at the point of no return?
At the end of the day
there's no me without you
at the end of the day
there's no me without you
how do you weigh in
this precious stone?
I'm a tick in the clock
of old father time
feel the beat to the rock
under the palm of of my hand
don't deny that you ask yourself
how do you weigh in
this precious stone?
we're at the point of no return
