Lbums.



Stonehaven sunset the water's on fire

My true love of singing, we kiss and conspire

Sing a song for the ocean a song for the sky

A song for tomorrow love sweet by and by

For the child who is coming and for dreams that come true

Sing a song for each other for me and for you

Sing a song for all lovers all the stars in the skies

Sing of stonehaven water home, stonehaven sunrise



Stonehaven sunset the desert's on fire

Christ on the cross again burns with desire

They are shooting at random though they aim at us all

It's the children who rise up and children who fall

All the angels are weeping the sweetest of tears

Fall like rivers of mercy to wash all our fears

Sing a song for old glory and a future that dies

Sing of stonehaven desert home, stonehaven sunrise



Stonehaven sunset the city's on fire

The soldiers just smile and say this gun's for hire

Give in to the beast boy give in to the thrill

It's just human nature to hunt and to kill

We all die together and yet somehow alone

Just together we have memories and many are gone

Singing songs for old soldiers a chorus of sighs

Sing of stonehaven city home, stonehaven sunrise



Stonehaven sunset the mountain's on fire

My spirit is lifted, rising higher and higher

All the prophets are laughing they say we told you so

It's one thing to play guessing games, another to know

For the needs of many are the sins of a few

And the day is forthcoming when accounting is due

Sing a song for sweet justice with a fire in her eyes

Sing of stonehaven mountain home, stonehaven sunrise



Stonehaven sunset the water's on fire

My true love of singing, we kiss and conspire

Sing a song for the ocean a song for the sky

A song for tomorrow love sweet by and by

For the child who is coming and for dreams that come true

Sing a song for each other for me and for you

Sing a song for all lovers all the stars in the skies

Sing of stonehaven water home, stonehaven sunrise
