Stone Wall, Stone Fence Lyrics

Pick old, pin land
you hold the weight of the air, in your hand
pick old, pin air
you feel the tickle of the trees, on your chest

and why did you go, and waste it
the things that you know,
im making you a stone wall, stone fence
your stories so old you just tend to keep them
long winding road, you got a secret but you wont share it

pick old, pin land
you hold the weight of the air in your hands
pick old, pin air
you feel the tickle of the trees on your chest

and why did you go and waste it
the things that you know,
im making you a stone wall, stone fence
the stories so old you just tend to keep them
long winding road, you got a secret but you wont share it

There are a few corrections that I would like to make to your lyrics:

Big open land You hold the weight of the air in your hands Big open air You feel the tickle of the trees on your chest

And why did you go and waste it? The things that you know are making you a stone wall, stone fence Your story's so old you just tend to keep them

Long winding road You got a secret, but you won't share it

Big open land you hold the weight of the air in your hands Big open air you feel the tickle of the trees on your chest

And why did you go and waste it? The things that you know are making you a stone wall, stone fence

Your story's so old you just tend to keep them Long winding road You got a secret, but you won't share it


To me, this song is about creating a wall to keep people out in order to prevent yourself from getting hurt. But in doing so, you end up pushing people away and perpetuating your isolation. It's like a self-fulfilling prophecy for desertion and hopelessness.

Its so sad theat hardly anyone knows about Meridith she really is a great artist, her lyrics are always so personal

Cover art for Stone Wall, Stone Fence lyrics by Gregory and the Hawk

Got the part on life is a long winding road and we sometimes keep secrets that isolate us and some people know it anyways and will accept you with it. Secrets can be kept if they do not harm anyone but if the secret is causing harm it’s terrible.

Big open land You hold the weight of the air in your hands Big open air You feel the tickle of the trees on your chest

And why did you go and waste it?

ANYBODY- can you tell what that means?
