Cutting Stone

Dreamed I had a cutting stone Dreamed I held it all my own It cut through wire, wood, and bone I'll cut you down, my cutting stone Cutting stone oh fear me none Whether wild or whether won Though I travel far from home I'll always have my cutting stone Wandering, I chanced upon A wayward child lost anon And when he laid across my chest My cutting stone it did the rest Cutting stone oh fear me none Whether wild or whether won Though I travel far from home I'll always have my cutting stone In a valley green and wide A suitor wept for a dying bride And when he turned his eyes on me A cutting stone did set him free Cutting stone oh fear me none Whether wild or whether won Though I travel far from home I'll always have my cutting stone Cutting stone oh fear me none Whether wild or whether won Though I travel far from home I'll always have my cutting stone There upon a mountaintop I looked down on to what I'd wrought And when I saw my labors through I cut my cutting stone in two Cutting stone oh fear me none Whether wild or whether won Though I travel far from home I'll always have my cutting stone I'll always have my cutting stone I'll cut you down, my cutting stone --- Cutting Stone - The Decemberists
