Davey and the Stone that Rolled Away Lyrics by Steve Walsh

Shadowman

2005

[Verse 1]
Ah, death is death so why go to bother
Why use any time to grieve
I'll make out okay
Plant me where I lay
But one last breath of life from another
Might be enough to believe
In the stone that rolls away
The stone that rolls away
[Chorus 1]
Love ain't fair and life is a muzzle
Nothin' you can feel is black and white
Just when you find the right piece of the puzzle
Somebody goes and shoots out the light
What a shame but damn good aim
Ain't no one to blame
Listen to what I say
That stone gonna roll away
[Verse 2]
I never read the books that I oughta
The ones everybody needs
I save 'em for a rainy day
Save 'em for a rainy day
But how can a father talk to his daughter
When she gets 'em all out to read
I guess that's what I'll say
I saved 'em for your rainy day
[Chorus 2]
History just passed me by
Well, my oh my, sayin' don't even try
Science teacher tied me down
Well, me and her go round and round again
Ow, she's under my skin
So where do I begin
Oh yeah, listen to what I say
I saved 'em for your rainy day
[Verse 3]
Davey was a guy with an eye for a rumble
Didn't have a lot to say
But he kept those blues at bay
Now his stone done rolled away
He never told a lie and never had a grumble
A good friend night and day
I talk to him when I pray
'Cause his stone done rolled away
[Chorus 3]
He played a little guitar–not no dancer
Up on stage, there ain't no doubt
Late last year he caught up with the cancer
He might be down but he ain't out, wait and see
Ah, listen to me
Come judgement day
That stone gonna roll away
Stone gonna roll away
Gangway, gangway
Stone gonna roll away
