Laura Nyro wrote this song. about her struggle with Lesbianism. She married but her marriage disolved.. her conflicting feelings and passions raged inside her soul.. She was very cose to her mother,.. when faced with this dilemma she wanted to feel secure in her mothers arms again and start all over again.. She ws a good person she was born from love, and raised on the good book Jesus..She did not want to go down the stoney end. In Biblical times women were stoned when they did not conform.
Wasn't stoning limited to the Old Testament? I think it was. Didn't realize this version was not a cover. Always loved the "sound" of the song. Never took time to really hear the lyrics. Sounds as though she is worried about her future with regard to God (due to her "raging soul").

Kind of an extreme interpretation about the Biblical stoning thing. And you've posted the exact same comment 3 times.
Any chance this could just be about big conflicts and disappointments in life rather than extreme guilt about sinning? Especially since the first verse tells us she has already seen some flaws and shams in the Bible.
Getting the shit end of the stick doesn't mean somebody actually shit on it. Going down a stoney end could just mean going down a rocky path in life, not that you're so bad you'd likely be stoned to death.
So in the first verse she finds...

So in the first verse she finds a big washout from the organized religion she believed in. Then she gets left by a lover. Then she has some raging torments as we all do. Each of these is so bad she feels like she doesn't want to go on and it hurts so bad she just wishes she could be a little kid again with her mother watching over her.
As an artist and as a female she probably didn't feel a whole lot of torment about being bisexual or gay. All women are basically latents and artistic types are less troubled by that sort of thing.

I just read online that the song is about a one-night stand with a man after a night of partying...

Barbara S is not a lesbian and she found great success with this song. I doubt she would have selected it if were about a lesbian encounter.
