Springsteen, Bruce - Stones Lyrics






I woke up this morning with stones in my mouth
You said those were only the lies you've told me
Those are only the lies you've told me

I pulled my collar to the wind and spit them on the ground
You said those are only the lies you've told me
Those are only the lies you've told me

Sat on the edge of our bed in the sun
I felt them gather on my tongue

I woke up this morning with stones in my mouth
You said those are only the lies you've told me
Those are only the lies you've told me

The dirt-brown winter field
A thousand black crows cover the ground
You say those are only the lies you've told me
Those are only the lies you've told me

The autumn wind blows through the trees
As the dark leaves come tumbling down
You say those are only the lies you've told me
Those are only the lies you've told me

I walk a highway washed in sun
I feel weight gather on my tongue

I woke up this morning with stones in my mouth
You said those are only the lies you've told me
Those are only the lies you've told me

Those are only the lies you've told me
(Only the lies you've told me)
Those are only the lies you've told me
(Only the lies you've told me)
Those are only the lies you've told me
(Only the lies you've told me)
Those are only the lies you've told me

I woke up this morning with stones in my mouth

    What a beautiful horse...if only it didn't have shoes on..photoshop them out for it to be a wild animal !! how hard is that!!

  2. B.... B....

    A masterpiece.

  3. J.... &....

    What does this actually mean? I woke up this morning with stones in my mouth
    .....

  4. d.... b....

    The American poet does it again!
    Unbelievable songwriting ability.
    I just want to listen to it and feel it again and again. No one touches your soul like Bruce does. Fabulous!

    d.... b....

    I can't stop listening to this beautiful song

  5. j.... b....

    call me crazy , I hear a lot of Waylon Jennings here. he could have sang A lot of these songs and made Mega hits out of them. great stuff Bruce, I wasn't much of a fan before but I am now.

  6. m.... l....

    The live film version with Patti is even better than the studio version.

  7. R.... H....

    this one made the whole movie worth the trip..! as you will see. ready to go back , just to hear and see it again.. "wow"

  8. L.... R....

    Wie man ihn kennt seit über 40 Jahren, der Boss mit immer wiederkehrenden schönen Balladen. Einfach top and beautiful.

  9. R.... T....

    Stumbled upon this song a few nights ago.  Damn!  I feel ashamed to have overlooked Mr. Springsteen

    R.... T....

    He has dozens of masterpieces

  10. B.... H....

    music gets me through.

  11. D.... B....

    This is one of the best songs I've ever heard. Been a fan of Springsteen's music for a long time. Superb album.

    D.... B....

    we are so fortunate...

  12. V.... P....

    Ooooooo refresh their memories..

  13. V.... P....

    You really, really believe?

  14. s.... ....

    I did a 500 mile,14 hour,working day yesterday.The cd was in the player. And I blasted this song out with the window open and sang it from the heart of my bottom...

  15. M.... L....

    This song gets to me every time. I feel a lump in my chest and want to cry. There is something lonesome in the words and the voice is so soft. I will be a Bruce fan forever

    M.... L....

    The greatest

  16. m.... ....

    This song is stuck inside my head. Yep, only the lies.

  17. D.... M....

    Bruce Springsteen is a sacre Monster of folk music....such as Bono from U2... Launching a sort of survey... According to you...is this Bruce's song...STONES ...having the same refrain ....and grief melodies of Mothers of Disappeared...U2's song from The Joshua Tree 1987...??? What do you think about? Are they similar...I am not saying this could be a plagiarism ...but refrains in both songs giving me the weird sensation to listen the same song.. It is so strange...First love you can never Forget !!!

  18. M.... J....

    From an oldie the lp should be played as a whole, it is a journey for young and old, enjoy the ride x

  19. t.... p....

    A song to stop you in your tracks!! Excellent

  20. D.... T....

    The more you listen to the complete album the more you stay hooked and trapped!! Simply magnifiscent!!

    D.... T....

    I am glad to say same to me

  21. M.... M....

    Fantastic

    M.... M....

    Just thank you for helping me to live...

  22. M.... M....

    The breadth, depth and length of this man's brilliant songwriting career borders on unfathomable. Not to mention what he does on stage...

    M.... M....

    Greatest all around?

    M.... M....

    @Mark Levasseur in my book, yes.

    M.... M....

    @MIKE MCFADDEN I agree!

  23. D.... N....

    Cant stop listening

  24. D.... N....

    What an artist!

  25. J.... L....

    Homelessness because of lies. A life ruined. It's a sad song. Only those who have been through it can understand..

  26. A.... L....

    Utterly glorious. Very pared down lyrically and not overly orchestral, which drowns out the 'Springsteen-ness' of many other songs on this album. This one holds back and he doesn't get too Roy Orbison, it gets more heart-wrenching the more you listen. A classic.

  27. J.... H....

    Ever time I listen to this I love it more...this is a classic song and further demonstrates Bruce's range...just beautiful...an American treasure...actually a global treasure...can't wait for next tour...let it be 2020!!!

  28. M.... A....

    Arguably the most beautiful song on the Western Stars album.

    M.... A....

    Hands down the most beautiful song on the album

  29. V.... B....

    Queria q Bruce fosse eterno 🙏 como meu amor por ele... não morrerá jamais 💘🎸🎸🎤

  30. G.... B....

    The BOSS is back!

  31. M.... D....

    Makes me cry..beautifull...makes me feel like when i first heard darkness on the edge of town...thru'all these years He never let us down

  32. V.... K....

    ❤️😍🤠

  33. A.... C....

    The way this song implants the hook into your mind is masterful. By the end you faintly hear Bruce sing "I woke up this morning with stones in my mouth..." only for the rest of the hook to be played through the guitar as your mind fills in the blanks with "you said those are only the lies you told me". This album is worthy of another Grammy nomination for Album of the Year for sure.

    A.... C....

    Sadly, as from what I have heard, it did not do so well in the Grammy's. We know better, I'm going out to purchase 3 of his new CD's. One for myself and 2 for my brother and sister. Just you wait...this music will be cast on many movie soundtracks! Thank you Mr . Springsteen! One of the best in my opnion. L burke

  34. m.... c....

    Un placer escuchar esta bella canción, gracias...💓👏👏

  35. d.... i....

    Currently listening to the album on vinyl. Sounds absolutely magnificent. Normally, I'm not a fan of splitting up what could fit on one LP over two records (as is the case here), but with Western Stars I don't mind as each side break makes sense in the overall narrative of the album.

  36. D.... T....

    Once more magic made music. The execution of feeling.

  37. R.... G....

    Linda canción

  38. K.... F....

    I love itttttt

  39. M.... W....

    If the movie No Country for Old Men had had a soundtrack this song could have been part of it. It speaks of the wide open skies and plains of the West, and also of regrets and lost opportunities. Glorious.

  40. T.... G....

    Those are only the lies you've told me's the Boss telling it like it is when you fall outta Love

  41. J.... ....

    Another great new song, Bruce. It wasn't what I expected.

  42. R.... p....

    Truly a great song when you just searching for some closure and the truth within the HEART & soul of a connubial partner, wife, best friend, family member's, ECT......that eternal & hidden truth always reveals itself, respectfully or not SO!

    What a great song I hear guitar touches of Glen Campbell and Duane Eddy

  44. G.... I....

    Great song !

  45. C.... R....

    Thank you so much for all your songs and music. They put smile on my face and tears of joy in my eyes. They are beautiful and magic. Love from Belgium.

  46. B.... K....

    I sometimes imagine a world without Bruce Springsteen and it scares me. I am from Freehold, New Jersey and all of the images, the sky, St. Rose where I also went to school, the cemetery where are relatives are buried and the large potato field that became a Walmart (!!!!)...all captured and expressed so poignantly by this simple bard. Have met him a few times and always just completely normal and like..."without you, my music does not exist"...he sings for us and to us and God love him for that.

    B.... K....

    I'm in Paris, France, and i feel same emotions. He changes my life and send a smell of Melancoly ange happiness in hard Times 🌻

    B.... K....

    I am in a small town in Wales this music has enriched my life and my family's life . You can't imagine a life without Bruce ...... it's to painful

  47. a.... p....

    You continue to amaze me. My greatest memories include your music playing in the background. Got me through some tough ones.

    [Chorus]
    I woke up this morning with stones in my mouth
    Said those were only the lies you've told me
    Those are only the lies you've told me

    [Verse 1]
    I pulled my collar to the wind and spit them on the ground
    You said those are only the lies you've told me
    Those are only the lies you've told me

    [Pre-Chorus]
    Sat on the edge of our bed in the sun
    I felt them gather on my tongue

    [Chorus]
    I woke up this morning with stones in my mouth
    You said those are only the lies you've told me
    Those are only the lies you've told me

    [Verse 4]
    The dirt-brown winter field
    A thousand black crows cover the ground
    You say those are only the lies you've told me
    Those are only the lies you've told me
    The autumn wind blows through the trees
    As the dark leaves come tumbling down
    You say those are only the lies you've told me
    Those are only the lies you've told me

    [Pre-Chorus]
    I walk a highway washed in sun
    I feel weight gather on my tongue

    [Chorus]
    I woke up this morning with stones in my mouth
    You said those are only the lies you've told me
    Those are only the lies you've told me

    [Refrain]
    Those are only the lies you've told me
    (Only the lies you've told me)
    Those are only the lies you've told me
    (Only the lies you've told me)
    Those are only the lies you've told me
    (Only the lies you've told me)
    Those are only the lies you've told me
