Bed of Stones

(Linda Connell Studley)

Every night I lay me down upon this bed of stones

Every stone has a story and a heartache of its own

There’s a stone for every time you lied

And a stone for every time I cried

And a great big stone for when you said good-bye,
on my bed of stones

 

Every night I lay me down upon this bed of stones

Every stone has a story and a heartache of its own

There’s a stone for every broken dream,
every promise that you made to me

And a whole lot of little stones in between,
on my bed of stones

I’m gonna take those stones

I’m gonna build four walls

Gonna build them strong

Gonna build them tall

Gonna top it all off with a big strong roof

Gonna make that house so heartache proof

That I’ll never have to lay me down again

upon no bed of stones

Oh but every night some woman lays herself down

upon a bed of stones
