Stones

Lyrics

Barely old enough
To call it love
Showing off, skipping rocks ‘cross the water
Stones

I handed one to you
You put it in your pocket
Said you loved it, said you’d keep it, forever
Stones

One by one they mark our passage
Along this winding road we’re on
With each turn we take from the cradle to the grave
Our lives are paved with stones

A tiny little box
One perfect little rock
A little thing just a ring but it says marry me
Stones

We’ll build ourselves a home
Where love’s the corner stone
We’ll have children, they’ll have children
Till they roll off on their own like
Stones

Birthstones
Stepping stones
Skipping rocks and dodging lots of
Sticks and stones and I’ve been on
Both sides of throwing stones

Years are like the wind
They’re here and gone and then
They’ll blow away our every trace
All except our names engraved in stones.

Chorus
