I've been on the other end of the ocean
I've seen many different sides of the sun
Well, I felt the earth shake beneath my feet
And wondered if my time was done
And I've dabbled in the darkest of places
I've done all kinds of drugs
But there's never been a high that's made me feel
The embrace of love

And the stones cried out, oh
And the stones cried out, oh

I've been a sinner and I've been a saint
And everything in between
It's a lot more fun when you let it all go
And get after what you need
For what good's a man if he trades his soul
For a barrel full of gold?
When all he ever wanted was to be a king
With a kingdom to behold

And the stones cried out, oh
And the stones cried out, oh

And the stones cried out, oh
And the stones cried out, oh

I've been on the other end of the ocean
I've seen many different sides of the sun
Well, I felt the earth shake beneath my feet
And wondered if my time here was done
