Ray LaMontagne - Stones Throw From Lonesome Lyrics






The sun it fell down
On the rising sea
When the bishop outgrew his pew
Beggin' money man
Got his hands all over me
Lets hope he don't put em on you

My vision welled
Then overflowed
To spill on down to the green grass
The chapel bell rose back then tolled
Go on a tollin'
Till the tollin' passed

Maggie stops
Unlocks the door
She's sixty-four
She steps down into the street
Oh, the city sounds
Like a one-man band
And the bricks turn blue beneath her feet

The queen she laid down
With the fiddler's son
But it was their words she used to seek
She said to him
"Let's go down
To where the grass is tall and brown
You can lay that rhythm down
Right on me
Right on me
Right on me"
Yeah uh huh

Wipe your eyes child
With your head down low
Yes I believe in time you'll grow son
Look around
There's a big old world
A stone's throw from lonesome
Lonesome
Lonesome

    Can anyone tell me how to get the entire album? Water From The Well cuts out on this version. There are quite literally (as you all know) no torrents, etc... that even have this album. It's like it's on lockdown.

  2. R.... ....

    Water from the Well is my all time favorite but it's cut off on this... And I lost my Green Album years ago. Mark Ruf is there any way you could upload the whole album? Or does anyone have an idea where I can get it? I got it in the mail when I was a teenager after seeing Ray playing for a few people at a fair in Maine. Instantly fell in love and knew he wouldn't be in Maine long! ❤❤ Love how his sound has grown and evolved but this EP really sounds like home to me.

    I'm in love with your songs Ray Lamontagne ! I hope you'll come soon in france, 'cause i'm not really sure to manage to go to Manchester in May... But... I really don't want to miss your european tour... <3

    Sounds like a lost masterpiece; which is how ray is supposed to sound!

    I guess this all depends upon what your definition of "full" is.

    J.... B....
