Stone Walls

You always said a penny for my thoughts,

Well I’d be rich if that were true

I’d trade all of them, to walk alongside you

Run my hand against our stone wall

 

Stone walls remind me of the beauty in my life

When times are troubled those stone walls can crush away my strife

But most of all they make me think of you

Remind me of those specials days with you

 

Stone walls, Stone walls

Remind me of you, Remind me of you, Remind me of you

Going to bed and thinking of Grand Daddy

He would have been 99 years old today

Lay down my head, eyes close, I go to Glenamaddy

Back to the fields I would walk to escape the trials of my day

 

He would walk those same wet fields

And often I would walk alongside him

Cap on his head as we watched the sheep move slowly from the shed

We would lean against a stonewall

 

Stone walls remind me of the beauty in my life

When time are troubled those stone walls can crush away my strife

But most of all they make me think of you

Remind me of those specials days with you

 

It happens when I pour my cup of tea

Visions of these memories come racing back

Hear the church bells ring as I’m sweeping up the ash

You’re praying the Angelus
