[Vocabulary] What's the meaning of 'stone in love'?

[PedroBernardo]

What's the meaning of 'stone in love' in these lyrics?

Those crazy nights, I do remember in my youth
I do recall, those were the best times, most of all
In the heat with a blue jean girl
Burnin' love comes once in a lifetime
She found me singing by the rail road track
Took me home, we danced by moonlight


Those summer nights are callin'
stone in love
Can't help myself I'm fallin'
stone in love


Old dusty roads, led to the river
Runnin' slow
She pulled me down, and in clover
We'd go 'round
In the heat with a blue jean girl
Burnin' love comes once in a lifetime
Oo the memories never fade away
Golden girl, I'll keep you forever


Those summer nights are callin'
stone in love
Can't help myself I'm fallin'
stone in love

That's my favorite Journey song and in the 30 some years I've known it I've never thought that it actually meant anything.

 

[Rover_KE]

He might mean 'completely in love', as in 'stone deaf'.

 

[Skrej]

Maybe he's stoned on love instead of dope.
