"Stony Road" lyrics

Stony Road

This is the story
Oh, this is the way
The gospel of reason
When the pain came to stay

The life of a loser
Who wins with a smile
The sinner's redemption
In the tears of a child

Me and Katie
We go dancing
Down that stony road
See her laughing through the pain
Of such a heavy load
Yeah

Me and Katie
Dancing down that stony road
Yeah

You're looking for sugar
To kill the grey
Are you looking for the laughter
To take the pain away?

God don't give nothing, no
You got to steal your own smile
Learning to find it
In the tears of the child

And me and Katie
We go dancing
Down that stony road
See her laughing through the pain
Of such a heavy load
Yeah

Me and Katie
Dancing down that stony road

Let's go dancing
Yeah
Let's go dancing
Dancing down that stony road
Let's go dancing
Dancing down that stony road
Well

Let's go dancing
Dancing down that stony road
Yeah
Yeah, dancing down that stony road
Dancing down that stony road
Dancing down that stony road
