Live 26 Nov 1988 version
You stare in the mirror at the lines in your face
And you try so hard to see, girl
The way things were when we were at your place
Everyday was just you and me, girl
And you cry because nothing good ever lasts
Ah girl, ah shit!
Don't worry baby
I can't talk now, I'm not alone
So put your ear close to the phone
This is the last dance, the last chance
For hearts of stone
If there was something, baby, girl that I could do
Just to make you last, babe, you know I would
You should know better than to think that you can return to the past
So close your eyes and, baby, I'll be there
I'll hold you once more, no I won't go anywhere
I wish I could baby
But I can't talk now, I'm not alone
So put your ear close to the phone
This is the last dance, the last chance
For hearts of stone
You cry because nothing good ever lasts
You cry because things get so strange, so fast
Well I know baby
Yes I know babe
I can't talk now, I'm not alone
So put your ear close to the phone
This is the last dance, the last chance
For hearts of stone
This is the last dance, it's the last chance
For hearts of stone
The above lyrics are for the live 26 Nov 1988 performance of HEARTS OF STONE at The Stone in San Francisco, CA, during a guest appearance with Southside Johnny & The Asbury Jukes.
