Let me tell you a story
Little baby of mine
You won't remember
A single line
But the feeling of your head
On my shoulder will sink
Into my bones
Where it grows and it grows
I have been here with you
It's a feeling I've known
Like the sound of a statue
If you listen up close
I have been here so long
All the trees turned to bone
And the sands took them
Way down below
We were stones
We were stones
And wistfully we held the bones
Within us
Let me tell you a secret
Little babe in my hands
That I once thought of you
As my line in the sand
And the man that I was
Who you won't know at all
Left a line here
In wait for your sea
We were stones
We were stones
And patiently we smoothed
The earth against us
Will you tell me a story
O' child of mine
I just want to know
That we both survived
Up to the moment
That swaddles us
Here in this room
And I slip out
Beyond all recall
We were stones
We were stones
And we kept a quiet
Gravity between us
We were stones
We were stones
And gracefully we
Wore the world
Beneath us
We were stones
We were stones
