"Stones" lyrics

Barely old enough to call it love
Showing off, skipping rocks across 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
And with each turn we take
From the cradle to the grave
Our lives are paved with stones

A tiny velvet box
One perfect little rock
A little thing
It's just a ring but it says marry me
Stones
We'll build ourselves a home
Where love's the cornerstone
And we'll have children
And they'll have children
Till they roll off on their own like stones

One by one they mark our passage
Along this winding road we're on
And with each turn we take
From the cradle to the grave
Our lives are paved with

Birthstones, stepping stones
Skipping rocks and dodging lot's of sticks and stones
Well I've been on both sides of throwing stones

The years are like the wind
They're here and gone and then
They blow away our every trace
All except our names engraved in stones

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