Far off a dog barks like dogs like to do What a night for feeling like a borrowed shoe If a platefull of Martians came flying by Lighting up the sky, I wouldn't bat an eye Thanks for the letter of two months ago Was it addressed to anyone I know Why write a note anyway I'm only a stone's throw away
All alone now I can speak out of turn Light a dangerous fire and watch it burn Better yet instead, try to make some bread Try to get ahead Couldn't blame you for loving to be free That's what I like to think is the best thing for me Let's compare notes, hey, I'm only a stone's throw away
Stone's throw, stones thrown away, hey...
S'pose I'll think of something I ought to do But some of me is caught up inside of you Bring on the day, hey It's only a stone's throw away
