about

In the Navesink Highlands we call it "peanut stone". The picture on the cover is a wall I built from stones in our yard.

lyrics

Ironstone

Up on the Cuesta Ridge
Pouring over blue sea glass
Down on the sandy trail
Ten million years have come and passed
Since this old ironstone
Was born at the bottom of the sea
Now this old ironstone is tumbling
Under me

Lowly quartz and clay
Have their moment in the sun
High time they took a stand
And showed the rivers where to run
And this old ironstone
made walls to hold up the trees
Now this old ironstone is crumbling
Under you and me

Over winter woods
In a gallery of oak
Under a super moon
Lit the honest words we spoke
And this old ironstone
gave space to let it be
While this old ironstone is slumping
Back into the sea
