Song Lyrics to Stone Upon A Stone by Academy Shore

The part of me that doesn’t roam
It put a stone upon a stone
Walls rose tall and formed a periphery
Sanctuary so a dream may come to me

When the dreamer dreams the right dream
From the home a castle grows it seems
A place where paths can originate
and through whose gates I’ll return when the hour is late

The stone, the wall, the dream, the castle keep
Oh, I’ve made it home to where I put a stone upon a stone

I stack stones on other stones along my course
Cairns to mark my passing for the journey in reverse
Showing me the way back to my keep
When I’m weary of the road and I’m ready to sleep

Roads are longer on the outbound
But now that I’ve turned around
The same distance feels a little less
When my feet point towards my home address

The stone, the wall, the dream, the castle keep
The stones, the cairns, the ruin, the dream, the sleep
Oh, I’ve made it home where I left a stone upon a stone

My place of late is in a state of disrepair
Somewhat of a ruin, you might even dare
Inside you’ll find me here alone
So long as a stone rests on a stone

The ruin marks where the dreamer died
He ventures farther now on a swifter tide
My cairns still lead me home
If you’ll be so kind as to leave a stone upon my stone

The stone, the wall, the dream, the castle keep
The stones, the cairns, the ruin, the dream, the sleep
Oh, I’ve made it home to where I first placed a stone upon a stone

The part of me that doesn’t roam
It put a stone upon a stone
Walls rose tall and formed a periphery
Sanctuary so a dream may come to me
