Kicking the Stone Songtext
von Stornoway

Each day walking home, the same boy kicks a stone
Past Heather in her kitchen and Alfie with his bone
Up the slope past Alan′s house, and Mary Coffee's wall
He′s kicked it home a thousand times pretending it's a ball

I'll kick you in my dreams up the unfinished road
′Til the dogs they bark no more, and all the lawns are mowed


Two dogs bark in time, a woman sings his name
Over psychedelic drives and ghostly window panes
One down from the bachelor′s, a bike lies on its side
With its back wheel still spinning from the summer's long ride

And as the sun rolls down to the dazzle of the bay
He kicks his stone again, as if to say

I′ll kick you in my dreams up the unfinished road
'Til the dogs they bark no more and all the lawns are mowed
And I′ll kick you in my dreams up the unfinished road
'Til the children have all flown and their houses all grown cold

′Til the children have all flown, their houses all grown cold
