Quarrels In The Quarry Lyrics

We drove out past the county line, where the road runs out of track,

Down to the old rock quarry, where the world don't turn back.

The moon was high, and the wind was still, and tempers started to rise,

She said, "You never listen, and you're always full of lies."

I said, "Now, honey, you've got it wrong, you don't hear a thing I say,"

She shot me that glare that could burn through stone, and I knew I'd gone astray.

We yelled and fussed till our voices cracked, and the echoes came back strong,

And in that dark, we both got lost, and everything went wrong.

Quarrels in the quarry, shadows on the walls,

Two hearts trapped in anger, where nobody hears the call.

We're stuck in the dark, no way to find our way,

Had to make up and see the light to live another day.

We tried to climb those rocky walls, but the ledges wouldn't hold,

Tried to shout for help, but the night was cold, and the echo's all we told.

We stumbled 'round in circles, no end to where we'd go,

Two stubborn fools stuck in their pride, no light to guide us home.

I reached for her hand and said, "Look, we've got to find a way,"

She looked at me, her eyes still fierce, but her anger slipped away.

She said, "Maybe if we work together, we might just find the road,

Two hearts can be much stronger than one that's all alone."

Quarrels in the quarry, shadows on the walls,

Two hearts trapped in anger, where nobody hears the call.

We're stuck in the dark, no way to find our way,

Had to make up and see the light to live another day.

So, we took it slow, step by step, found a path that felt just right,

Left our pride behind us, and we walked into the night.

By morning's light, we found our way, out of that rocky hole,

Sometimes it takes a little darkness to find a brighter soul.

Quarrels in the quarry, shadows on the walls,

Two hearts trapped in anger, where nobody hears the call.

But we found our way out, and now we see the day,

Had to make up and see the light to find a brand-new way.

We learned in that quarry, under the starry skies,

Sometimes you've got to let love lead to get out alive.
