Laura Nyro - Stoney End lyrics

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

Going down the stoney end

I never wanted to go down the stoney end

Mama, let me start all over

Cradle me, mama, cradle me again

I can still remember him with love light in his eyes

But the light flickered out and parted as the sun began to rise

Now, I don't believe, I wanna see the morning

Going down the stoney end

I never wanted to go down the stoney end

Mama, let me start all over

Cradle me, mama, cradle me again

Never mind the forecast, 'cause the sky lost control

'Cause the fury and the broken thunders come to match my raging soul

Now, I don't believe, I wanna see the morning

Going down the stoney end

I never wanted to go down the stoney end

Mama, let me start all over

Cradle me, mama, cradle me

Going down the stoney end

I never wanted to go down the stoney end

Mama, let me start all over

Cradle me, mama, cradle me again
