But it can be a sad place I know Lots of stones for you to throw A few more heading in this direction Use them for your protection You could use a stone to build a house Or to form a wall You can pile them up as high as you like your castle will still fall Nothings gonna stand the test of time Not as far as we know There might be a secret hidden deep inside this stone Sometimes the deepest things can be forgotten Imagine the history of a drop of water All the places thats its been in all its many forms The stories that it could tell if this water could talk You could use it to quench your thirst Or it can flood your town Sandbags at the ready troops we head to higher ground Our body's mostly water Our planet's mostly sea And it tastes delicious between you and me Somewhere where the stones and the sea dance with the tide The moon conducts her business There's not a soul in sight A timeless intelligence Sprinkled with irrelevance Magnifies the beauty and the pure magnificence Of the stones on the beach The stars in the sky Tears in the ocean And that look in your eyes So many questions So much to learn So many stones left unturned
