The Stone
The Stone represents death. Literally, it is a gravestone. We do know that
death is the motif, because of the common theme of blue that Dave uses in song to signify death. The subject expresses guilt
over a death, and over a death they may have caused.

I've this creeping Suspicion that things here are not as they seem Reassure me Why do I feel as if I'm in too
deep Now I've been praying For some way to show them I'm not what they see Yes, I have done wrong But what
I did I thought needed be done I swear
Oh unholy day If I leave now I might get away Oh, but this weighs
on me As heavy as stone and as blue as I go
I was just wondering if you'd come along Hold up my head when
my head won't hold on I'll do the same if the same's what you want But if not I'll go I will go alone I'm
a long way From that fool's mistake and now forever pay No, run I will run and I'll be okay
I was just
wondering if you'd come along Hold up my head when my head won't hold on I'll do the same if the same's what you want
But if not I'll go I will go alone Long way Bury the past for I don't want to pay Oh, how I wish this
To turn back the clock and do over again
Now I was just wondering if you'd come along Hold up my head when
my head won't hold on I'll do the same if the same's what you want But if not I'll go I'll go alone
I
need so To stay in your arms, see you smile, hold you close And now it weighs on me As heavy as stone and a bone
chilling cold
I was just wondering if you'd come along Tell me you will
