John Oates Carved In Stone lyrics

at the dawn of man... there was a perfect plan
In the garden light... stood the tree of life
but when Adam ate the apple... his choice was his own
It wasn't eve that did him wrong
we're only flesh and bone
not carved in stone

In a perfect world when a boy meets a girl
they live a dream never knowing that nothing's
carved in stone... they say "lets stay together"
like the al green song... I hope their love is as strong

we're only flesh and bone
we're not carved In stone
though your body's weak but your spirit's strong
and from the day you're born
each step's a fork in the road that you're on
we're only flesh and bone

not carved in stone

one night stand innocent woman and man
deep from the pleasure dome into the great unknown
can't walk away after the seed is sown
can't leave a child to live his life alone

we're only flesh and bone
we're not carved in stone
though your body's weak but your spirit's strong
and from the day you're born
each step's a fork In the road that you're on
we're only flesh and bone
not carved in stone
