The Decemberists – Cutting Stone lyrics

[Verse 1]
Dreamed I had a cutting stone
Dreamed I held it all my own
It cut through wire, wood, and bone
I'll cut you down, my cutting stone

[Chorus]
Cutting stone oh fear me none
Whether wild or whether won
Though I travel far from home
I'll always have my cutting stone

[Verse 2]
Wandering, I chanced upon
A wayward child lost anon
And when he laid across my chest
My cutting stone it did the rest

[Chorus]
Cutting stone oh fear me none
Whether wild or whether won
Though I travel far from home
I'll always have my cutting stone

[Verse 3]
In a valley green and wide
A suitor wept for a dying bride
And when he turned his eyes on me
A cutting stone did set him free

[Chorus]
Cutting stone oh fear me none
Whether wild or whether won
Though I travel far from home
I'll always have my cutting stone

[Chorus]
Cutting stone oh fear me none
Whether wild or whether won
Though I travel far from home
I'll always have my cutting stone

[Verse 4]
There upon a mountaintop
I looked down on to what I'd wrought
And when I saw my labors through
I cut my cutting stone in two

[Chorus]
Cutting stone oh fear me none
Whether wild or whether won
Though I travel far from home
I'll always have my cutting stone
I'll always have my cutting stone
I'll cut you down, my cutting stone
