Stoney End
[Verse 1]
I was born from love
And my poor mother worked the mines
I was raised on the good book Jesus
'Til I read between the lines
Now, I don't believe I wanna see the morning

[Chorus]
Going to the stoney end
I never wanted to go to the stoney end
Mama, let me start all over
Cradle me, mama, cradle me again

[Verse 2]
I can still remember him
With lovelight in his eyes
But the lights flickered out and parted
As the sun began to rise
Now, I don't believe I wanna see the morning

[Chorus]
Going to the stoney end
I never wanted to go to the stoney end
Mama, let me start all over
Cradle me, mama, cradle me again
[Verse 3]
Never mind the forecast
For the sky has lost control
And the fury of a broken thunder's come
To match my ragin' soul
Yes, don't believe I wanna see the morning

[Chorus]
Going to the stoney end
I never wanted to go to the stoney end
Mama, let me start all over
Cradle me, mama, cradle me again
