Stones
KITCHEN - Neil Diamond Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And where she slept, they made her bed.
And she would ache for love and get
But stones.
La la la la la la la la la la home.
Lordy child a good days comin',
And I'll be there to let the sun in,
And bein' lost is worth the comin' home.
You and me a time for planting,
You and me a harvest granting,
The every prayer ever prayed,
We're just two wild flowers that grow.
La la la la la la la la la on stones.
The lyrics of "Stones" by Neil Diamond are a poetic expression of the pain and loneliness that someone can feel when they crave love and affection but only find rejection and disappointment. The opening lines "Stones would play inside her head, and where she slept, they made her bed" describe the persistent feeling of distress and hopelessness that the singer experiences even in her dreams. She longs for love, but all she gets are stones, metaphorically representing the lack of warmth and tenderness in her life.
The second verse "Lordy child a good days comin', and I'll be there to let the sun in, and being lost is worth the coming home" however, suggests a glimmer of hope, as if the singer promises to be there, to welcome the singer when the sun shines and bring happiness into her life. The line "being lost is worth the coming home" reflects the idea that sometimes a difficult journey can be worth it when you finally arrive at your destination, like a plant that can only grow when it is buried deep in fertile soil.
Finally, the last verse "You and me a time for planting, you and me a harvest granting, the every prayer ever prayed, we're just two wild flowers that grow" suggests that the singer has found someone who shares her feelings, and with whom she can embark on a journey towards a fulfilling life. They are like two wild flowers, growing and thriving despite being surrounded by stones. The lyrics of "Stones" are ultimately a message of hope and resilience, that even in the bleakest moments, we can find a reason to keep going and dream of a better future.

Protip - if you ever happen to get lost in the wilderness, just sit down and start sharpening your pocket knife. It is guaranteed that within 10 minutes someone will come by and tell you that you are doing it wrong.
