I step on the walking stones I don't know where they lead I just hope they don't lead me home Where I have planted a dangerous seed
Mama left dad and me all alone And dad got sad and drank a lot He walked around like a mindless drone I tried to hide away, but I was caught
He got mad at me, and began to shout He began to hit me, he was very mad And in my mind, well I had no doubt That this was my fault, that dad would never be glad
He drank more, he hit more And mama never came back She didn't save me from the horror And I felt it was love I was always destined to lack
So I walk away, after very long years On the stepping stones Many bruises, many tears But maybe in heaven I'll be less alone
