All these men in my mind
Angry towns I left behind
But grey's the only colour I recall
If you asked me to describe
What I had going on inside
I could tell you nothing at all

I'm a stone's throw from rock bottom
Clinging to the wall
I'm a stone's throw from rock bottom
Longing for redemption
Before I start to fall

Living hard was my undoing
Careless loving was my ruin
Looking for for a man I could reach
I knew all those fancy words
Maybe some you've never heard
Maybe not the kind I'd want to teach

I'm a stone's throw from rock bottom
Clinging to the wall
I'm a stone's throw from rock bottom
Longing for redemption
Before I start to fall

I've got nothing left to lose
No more prayers that I can use
I'm not even my own best friend
Don't know how this came to be
No one else to blame but me
For how my story might end

I'm a stone's throw from rock bottom
Clinging to the wall
I'm a stone's throw from rock bottom
Longing for redemption
Before I start to fall

Hoping against hope
That I don't fall.

Yay!! Thanks Aidan! You are amazing.

Donna, great lyrics.

I'm so glad I will never have to sing like that again!!!!

Never say 'never', Tricia.

You don't know what else I might have up my sleeve.

(Only teasing.

)

Yes, Aidan, thank you for a masterful job, and Tricia for rising so splendidly to the challenge.

Nice tune guys. Love the growl in the voice. Man some great tunes are coming out of this place and this is definitley one of them. Nice lead guitar Billy.

Good job gang.

Thanks, Paulo, Nick, and Dave. So pleased you all enjoyed this.

Billy's guitar (and all the rest) was phenomenal, and Tricia really outdid herself with the vocals. In fact, I think her throat has only just about recovered, right Tricia?

Right, Donna. It hurt for 4 days. But now I can look back and smile. I'm so glad this song got done so nicely!

Thanks Dave.
