From the recording PALE ROOMS
PEOPLE NEVER GUESS WHAT THIS SONG IS ABOUT. IT CONCERNS A PHRASE MY FATHER USED. SET YOUR NAME IN STONE AND ALSO A REFERRAL TO THE EVENTUAL GRAVE TONE- BUT FIRST MAKE SOMETHING OF YOUR LIFE. THEN WILL HAVE SET YOUR NAME AND YOUR NAME WILL BE SET ON YOUR STONE..ALSO ABOUT FANS WHO LOVE YOU AT THE SHOW BUT DO NOT EVEN RECOGNICZE YOU SEVERAL DAYS LATER AT THE SUPREMARKET. THE DANCE OPENS EYES AND SHUTS THEM AT THE SAME TIME. LIKE MAGIC.

IT WAS OVER, DID THEY ASK YOU TO DANCE
DID THE CIRCLE GIVE YOU ONE MORE CHANCE
COULD THE REASONS HAVE BEEN PITY OR FEAR
I BELIEVE AND I WILL ALWAYS BE HERE
MY NAME’S IN STONE
YOUR NAME’S IN STONE
MY NAME’S IN STONE
WE’RE ALL NAMES IN STONE
COLORS FLASH BEFORE YOUR STRANDED EYES
YOUR MOUNTAINS LONG HAVE FALLEN—NOW YOUR SKIES
COULD THE REASON HAVE BEEN MADNESS SO DEAR
I BELIEVE THAT I WILL ALWAYS BE NEAR
MY NAMES IN STONE
YOUR NAME’S IN STONE
MY NAME’S IN STONE
WE’RE JUST NAMES IN STONE
SOLO
IT WAS OVER, DID THEY ASK YOU TO DANCE
DID THE CIRCLE GIVE YOU ONE MORE CHANCE
COULD THE REASON HAVE BEEN PITY OR FEAR
I BELIEVE AND I WILL ALWAYS BE HERE
MY NAME’S IN STONE
YOUR NAME’S IN STONE
MY NAME’S IN STONE
WE’RE ALL NAMES IN STONE
ALL NAMES IN STONE
ALL NAMES IN STONE
ALL NAMES IN STONE
ALL NAMES IN STONE
ALL NAMES IN STONE
SLIDE SOLO
MY NAMES IN STONE
YOUR NAME’S IN STONE
MY NAME’S IN STONE
WE’RE ALL NAMES IN STONE
MY NAMES IN STONE
YOUR NAME’S IN STONE
YOUR NAMES IN STONE
YOUR NAMES IN STONE
YOUR NAMES IN STONE
