Lyrics
verse
i'll never rate a statue in the park
like those heroes who made their mark in history
if i'm remembered for anything at all
let your lovin' me be my legacy
chorus
when they carve my name in stone
and lay to rest these restless bones
don't think i'm through
my love for you lives on
when they carve my name in stone
verse
they'll swing the hammer high and cut the chisel deep
still time will erase any trace that i was here
what's in my heart goes down into my soul
and baby that is something that won't disappear
chorus
when they carve my name in stone
and lay to rest these restless bones
don't think i'm through
my love for you lives on
when they carve my name in stone
