Kicking the Stone

[Verse 1] Each day walking home The same boy kicks a stone Past Heather in her kitchen And Alfie with his bone Up the slope past Alan's house And Mary Coffee's wall He's kicked it home a thousand times Pretending it's a ball [Chorus] I'll kick you in my dreams Up the unfinished road 'Til the dogs, they bark no more And all the lawns are mowed [Verse 2] Two dogs bark in time A woman sings his name Over psychedelic drives And ghostly windowpanes One down from the bachelor's A bike lies on its side With its back wheel still spinning From the summеr's long ride And as the sun rolls down To the dazzlе of the bay He kicks his stone again As if to say [Chorus] I'll kick you in my dreams Up the unfinished road 'Til the dogs, they bark no more And all the lawns are mowed And I'll kick you in my dreams Up the unfinished road 'Til the children have all flown And their houses all grown cold, oh 'Til the children have all flown Their houses all grown cold
