Shattered Image lyrics

I used to sit for hours as a kid

Dangle my feet from an old flat bridge

Seein' myself in the water below

Shatter my image with the stones I'd throw

I recall a vacant old shack

Down by the edge of the tobaccer patch

A child's reflection in a dirty window

Shatter my image with the stones I'd throw

A long time gone and a long time ago

When I shattered my image with the stones I'd throw

The world is cruel and people are cold

They shatter my image with the stones they throw

Shatter my image with the stones they throw

I'm far from perfect but I ain't all bad

It hurts me more than it makes me mad

You gather your stones by stoopin' so low

Then shatter my image with the stones you throw

If you live in a glass house don't throw stones

Don't shatter my image till you look at your own

Look at your reflection in your house of glass

Don't open my closet if your own's full of trash

Stay out of my closet if your own's full of trash

A long time gone and a long time ago...

A long time gone and a long time ago ...

Shatter my image with the stones you throw

Don’t shatter my image with the stones you throw

Shatter my image with the stones you throw

Shatter my image with the stones you throw...
