JUST A STONE'S THROW AWAY
(Clay Allen / George McCoy)


Texas Troubadours (vocal:  Jack Greene, Cal Smith & Leon Rhodes) - 1965





I'll be waiting just a stone's throw away

You told me a lie, now I sit alone and cry
You went away and left me, but my love just won't die
There's nothing I can do, the fault lies all with you
But you know my love is waiting just a stone's throw away

Just a stone's throw away I'll be waiting
With open arms for you both night and day
And then if you return, the flame of love will brightly burn
From the ashes just a stone's throw away

(Instrumental Break)

How could a love so right betray me in the night
And fill a heart with heartaches that loved with all its might
If this is all a sad mistake, the kind that lovers sometimes make
Then my love for you is waiting just a stone's throw away

Just a stone's throw away I'll be waiting
With open arms for you both night and day
And then if you return, the flame of love will brightly burn
From the ashes just a stone's throw away
I'll be waiting just a stone's throw away
