What is a love song sung to a lady
Who has been a lady so long
So long that her cloth is wearing thin
A momma unwed, alone in her bed
She is cold, she is clay
She can't find a better way
She is Stone liberty
Love alone won't set her free
What good is a word said to the man
Who doesn't hear
What meant to be heard
The voice of her child cryin' in fear
His hunger inside
She can't feed with pride
She is cold, she is clay
She can't find a better way
She is Stone liberty
Love alone won't set her free
She went down to the country
To find a wishing well
But the country had gone to the city
And the city had gone to hell
She is cold, she is clay
She can't find a better way
She is Stone liberty
Love alone won't set her free
She is cold, she is clay
She can't find a better way
She is Stone liberty
Love alone won't set her free
She is cold, is clay
She can't find a better way
She is Stone liberty
Love alone won't set her free
She is cold, she is clay
She can't find a better way
She is Stone liberty
Love alone won't set her free
