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 mornin'
going down to stoney end
I never wanted to go down to stoney end
mama let me start all over
cradle me
mama cradle me again

I can still remember him
with lovelight 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 mornin'
going down to stoney end
I never wanted to go down to stoney end
mama let me start all over
cradle me
mama cradle me again

never mind the forecast
cause the sky has lost control
cause the fury and the broken thunder's
come to match my ragin' soul
now I don't believe I want to see the mornin'
