Pile of Stones - Bill Miller

Pile of Stones Lyrics

Garbage fires, worn out tires
Dull jackknives, broken lives
Starts and stops at old pawn shops
Boys first fish, drunkards wishThoughts of war behind a motel door
Strangers touch on a broken crutch
Old man sing under an eagles wing
Cigarette spark, stray dog barkAs long as the grasses grow
And the four winds blow
I feel your prayers from home
In this pile of stonesOld bike frames, the candles flame
High school dance, never had a chance
Fly off in a rage like a bird in a cage
Baptized in the water, death of my fatherSun goes down on this part of town
Boxer's fist, junkie's wrist
Deserted tracks, I ain't goin' back
Buffalo bones, old grave stonesAs long as the grasses grow
And the four winds blow
I feel your prayers from home

In this pile of stones, stones, stonesAs long as the grasses grow
And the four winds blow
I feel your prayers from home
In this pile of stones
In this pile of stones
In this pile of stones
