[Chorus] I've been throwing stones, waiting by the river I've been on my own, praying like a sinner And you've been gone too long I'm waiting out the winter And I've been on my knees, praying like Praying like a sinner [Verse 1] Well you built a city right in me And brick by brick and piece by piece And love in both your hands Tried to make an honest man From when I woke until I went to sleep You planned my life so carefully Sculpted me like clay, I can see you in my face And I never thought I'd live this life without your guiding light [Chorus] I've been throwing stones, waiting by the river I've been on my own, praying like a sinner And you've been gone too long I'm waiting out the winter And I've been on my knees, praying like Praying like a sinner [Verse 2] And I heard the walls are paper thin From where you are to where I am But I don't feel a thing If you all keep pulling strings Send on a down a message please Light a bulb or haunt my dreams I'd just like to know that you hear me, that you're close
And I never thought I'd live this life without your guiding light [Chorus] I've been throwing stones, waiting by the river I've been on my own, praying like a sinner And you've been gone too long I'm waiting out the winter And I've been on my knees, praying like Praying like a sinner [Bridge] You've been gone for too long, oh, oh You've been gone for too long, oh, oh [Chorus] I've been throwing stones, waiting by the river I've been on my own, praying like a sinner And you've been gone too long I'm waiting out the winter And I've been on my knees, praying like I've been throwing stones, waiting by the river I've been on my own, praying like a sinner And you've been gone too long I'm waiting out the winter And I've been on my knees, praying like Praying like a sinner Praying like a sinner I've been throwing stones, waiting by the river I've been on my own, praying like a sinner And you've been gone too long I'm waiting out the winter And I've been on my knees, praying like Praying like a sinner
