Waiting For The Stone (To Be Rolled Away)
words & music: bill mallonee

There's a halogen glow cast from across the street
From the parking lot of the Holy Spirit Assembly
It's a beacon in the desert night until the break of day
Waiting the stone to be rolled away

I told Solomon, the shepherd of the flock
I've got none of the gifts that he's got
You see, you cannot speak in tongues, if you've got nothing to say
waiting the stone to be rolled away

Now, the brightest plastic flowers, I've ever found
Decorate the beds of the sleepers awaiting the trumpet sound
You know it's so hard to get clean and it's hard to stay that way
Waiting for the stone to be rolled away

Baby, gimme those keys, sit back & just watch me
Navigate this thing back home with considerable ease
Down these sad, back streets of doubt to a new & brighter day
Waiting for the stone to be rolled away
