The Decemberists - Cutting Stone lyrics

[Verse 1] 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 [Chorus] Cutting stone oh fear me none Whether wild or whether won Though I travel far from home I’ll always have my cutting stone [Verse 2] Wandering, I chanced upon A wayward child lost anon And when he laid across my chest My cutting stone it did the rest [Chorus] Cutting stone oh fear me none Whether wild or whether won Though I travel far from home I’ll always have my cutting stone [Verse 3] 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 [Chorus] Cutting stone oh fear me none Whether wild or whether won Though I travel far from home I’ll always have my cutting stone [Chorus] Cutting stone oh fear me none Whether wild or whether won Though I travel far from home I’ll always have my cutting stone [Verse 4] 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 [Chorus] 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
