lyrics

Vines of ivy weave
around eroding
halls barely holding
on the moldy
sagging ceiling heaves

Scattering like leaves
the shingles
fall and mingle
while a single
willow bends its boughs to grieve

Sometimes the summit’s worth the climb
Sometimes our fantasies unwind
After church bells play their songs
Now those days are gone

The horizon smiles
on the scenery
makes a valley
Evergreens
reach out for a country mile

To be a child
climbing in those trees
again, could it be
that fantasy
will hold me for a while

We’ll hold the ceremony on the lawn
Look at Jackie Draper in her dress
Let’s fetch a yellow string to be your ring
And I’ll help you tie it on
Now those days are gone

The dusty breeze blows
through an open door
into the corner
where ordinary
dandelions grow

I have never known
A weed to be
as pretty
or as seemingly
at ease, they’re looking quite at home
