[Verse 1]
Barely old enough to call it love
Showin' off skippin' rocks across the water
Stones
I handed one to you, you put it in your pocket
Said you love it, said you'd keep it forever
Stones

[Chorus]
One by one they mark our passage
Along this winding road we're on
With each turn we take from the cradle to the grave
Our lives are paved with stones

[Verse 2]
A tiny velvet box, one perfect little rock
A little thing, just a ring, but it says marry me
Stones
We'll build ourselves a home where loves a cornerstone
We'll have children, they'll have children, until they roll off on their own
Like stones

[Chorus]
One by one they mark our passage
Along this winding road we're on
With each turn we take from the cradle to the grave
Our lives are paved with stones
[Bridge]
Burnin' stones, steppin' stones
Skippin' rocks and dodgin' lots
Of sticks and stones
And I've been on both sides of throwin' stones
The years are like the wind
They're here and gone and then
They'll blow away our every trace
All except our names engraved in stones

[Chorus]
One by one they mark our passage
Along this winding road we're on
With each turn we take from the cradle to the grave
Our lives are paved with stones
