This is kind of song that is very introspective and can be read on a multitude of levels. The stones here are a foundation of love. The singer is saying that he is coming to her so that they can build a solid relationship on a foundation of stone.
Some have suggested that the Stones though, were the Rolling Stones. I seriously doubt this, as the lyrics would read that he's stealing one of their girlfriends. Neil has always had great respect for the Rolling Stones and even covered a few of their songs.
