Stoney End Lyrics - First Songs - Laura Nyro

I was born from love 

And my poor mother worked the mines 

I was raised on the Good Book Jesus 

Till I read between the lines 

Now I don't believe 

I want to 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 want to 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 

(Cradle me, mama, cradle me again 

Mama, cradle me again...) 

Never mind the forecast 

'Cause the sky has lost control 

'Cause the furry and the broken thunders 

Come to match my raging soul 

Now I don't believe 

I want to 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 

Going down the Stoney End...
