I was a stone’s throw from happiness
Feeling love grow in your caress
It was like nothing I had felt or seen
And I waited impatiently
Oh, stone’s throw
And I can’t stand to see you go
You hurt me bad, cut me down
But it just don’t work without you
Without you around
It was a short walk, now it’s a lonely ride
It turned my day into a lifeless night
It was my belief and now it’s my regret
I’ve got a one way ticket that I can’t accept
Oh, just a stone’s throw
And I can’t stand to see you go
You hurt me bad, you cut me down
But it just don’t work without you
Without, without, without
Without you around
Oh, stone’s throw
And I can’t stand to see you go
You hurt me bad, cut me down
But it just don’t work without you
Gotta have you around
Gotta have you around ...
