Stonehaven Sunset, the water's on fire
My true love of singing, we kiss and conspire
Sing a song for the ocean, a song for the sky
A song for tomorrow, love, sweet by and by

For the child who is coming and for dreams that come true
Sing a song for each other, for me and for you
Sing a song for all lovers, all the stars in the skies
Sing of Stonehaven water home, Stonehaven Sunrise

Stonehaven Sunset, the desert's on fire
Christ on the cross again, burns with desire
They are shooting at random though they aim at us all
It's the children who rise up and children who fall

All the angels are weeping the sweetest of tears
Fall like rivers of mercy to wash all our fears
Sing a song for old glory and a future that dies
Sing of Stonehaven desert home, Stonehaven Sunrise

Stonehaven Sunset, the city's on fire
The soldiers just smile and say, "This gun's for hire"
Give in to the beast, boy, give in to the thrill
It's just human nature to hunt and to kill

We all die together and yet somehow alone
Just together we have memories and many are gone
Singing songs for old soldiers a chorus of sighs
Sing of Stonehaven city home, Stonehaven Sunrise

Stonehaven Sunset, the mountain's on fire
My spirit is lifted, rising higher and higher
All the prophets are laughing, they say, "We told you so"
It's one thing to play guessing games, another to know

For the needs of many are the sins of a few
And the day is forthcoming when accounting is due
Sing a song for sweet justice, with a fire in her eyes
Sing of Stonehaven mountain home, Stonehaven Sunrise

Stonehaven Sunset, the water's on fire
My true love of singing, we kiss and conspire
Sing a song for the ocean, a song for the sky
A song for tomorrow, love, sweet by and by

For the child who is coming and for dreams that come true
Sing a song for each other for me and for you
Sing a song for all lovers, all the stars in the skies
Sing of Stonehaven water home, Stonehaven Sunrise
