Ferron

I watch you reading a book I get to thinking our love's a polished stone You give me a long drawn look I know pretty soon you're going to leave our home And of course I mind, Especially when I'm thinking from my heart But life don't clickety clack down a...

I waken to a morning mist The sun burns through an almost kiss Now gone away Not surprised to find me lonely now Parade of dreams stroll by and bow Not meant to stay I say hello there brittle and bone For sure you must be my home What's more I can always feel...

There’s a field there’s a field I can go to and lay down to When I need to have you close In the quiet in the quiet of the moment I can feel you all around me You’re the wind that blows Everybody loves someone a little bit harder Everybody cries somet...

You, oh Army of You who take us at birth and make us work for you You kill all my mothers take all my brothers You'll do it in my name no more Ferron: It's always the same with war we hear you coming as you force the neighbor's door with your thump...

If you're going alone Watching solely for yourself will power you through your time My heart, my home, I felt assured That it would give me back in two-fold time But you know I don't know Wouldn't say that I know And as soon as I find my shoes I'm gone. If t...

Babe you are my bellybowl My soft shoe shuffle I come behind I follow whole For me there is no other I look into your eyes so deep I see how I may need you I waited for the truth to ring I only felt it blowing O aren't we a stylish class Devoid of spirit wai...

It's been a year since you left home for higher ground. In the distance I hear a hoot owl ask the only question I have found to be worthy of the sound it makes as it breaks the silence of your old town These letters are another way to love you.

Went to the lake Where we used to take each other When we felt we were young. I stared at the water 'Til I got what I came for When I turned to the moon It was gone. I write you this letter I hope it does matter I know that at one time It's you I betrayed. O-o...

Be easy with love be easy with heartache alone on your road that good thing might find you you're easy darkness may come and cast its long shadow in the light of your day be easy with friends be easy with laughter and you'll keep it away through your long nigh...

My momma was a waitress, my daddy a truckdriver. The thing that kept their power from them slowed me down awhile. I remember the morning that was the closing of my youth, when I said goodbye to no one and in that way faced my truth...and a walk along the river...

what's the matter with harmless take a new step in an old direction if you think about tenderness what's the matter with harmless love i take a little walk outside in a town that brings me pears and peaches i'm busting with love inside and it's always more th...

Was it in your higher wisdom that you turned your light from me Or was it just your sense of humor that for a moment I should see In that darkness was I weeping In that silence sadly free Now I'm waiting in your valley to be standing on your mountain That I mi...

the moon's on full fm full moon the speaker in the sky she's loud and wise and the highway I'm on is shimmering the signs shudder there’s one more strand of light one last wisp of the wand before night the highway I'm on is shimmering the str...

They said some men would be warriors and some men would be kings And some men would be owners of land and other man-made things And false love as the eternal flame would move some to think in rings And gold would be our power and other foolish things But you w...

I've lived by the moon I've squandered much time How I have clutched close to ruin What could never be mine Anyway I have laughed at the night Crawled up to the day I've shaken my fist At any old twist The dark had to play Light of my light I'm with...

What you dream in the morning, may you dream at night May your love light be so bright it diminish the darkness that comes without warning And in no particular way and threatens to blow you away. You can pray to a flower or a bird on the line, What’s cl...

It's a quiet street in someone's town On stranger's feet I mark my ground I trace my circles round and round I'm sworn to find me In a party scene and I'd just got loose Its my devil's luck to be introduced To one who takes their shape like you It unbi...

Every person has their story, the one they vamp and revamp There is a way through constant sorrow But we must do more than light the lamp Unlike Zhivago at the window Pining Lara's love We dare not wait the weather to join the high suspended dove Cause yesterd...

I can't call you from this place to hear you say that I'm not your kind It's a thin road before us, we're the wake left behind It's sad and I fail to see what it had to do with you and me But I guess that's like wondering what's the point to a line There must...

Rosalee You tried too hard again Your stride stumble you down The horse Of love You tried to rope again In just your cowhide gown And don't it feel like Every bummer You have ever known Don't it make you Think that maybe You're okay alone Pool of faces All ar...

Here's your satin blouse And poem then It was a long-shot hope you would Stay for a while we played it to win Don't some try and try Some say goodbye And some only cry But we won't do that, no, We won't do that But you'd think by now I'd know the lure Of thos...

This window makes a perfect frame For New England leaves like painted rain They hold me as I hold this train All shadows on a dime. You move forward fast by holding back You gauge your steps and you don't look slack Me I'm looking backward down the track To se...

When I was young the mom next door would have tea at our house and she said her heart was broke and she told me that life was based on faith in the Evermore but me I was always trying to find a way to get a dime and go outside and play. It was pretty weird my...

The night before the day we meet I make my walk on sacred ground I turn my eyes up to most soulful sky And in evening soil my heels sink down I hear people laughing together down the way And as their glasses tinkle in their play I'm in between the moon and tom...

Slender wet branches and mist on the skyline I'm trying to find a way home. Grey hazy mornings create such a fine line 'Tween lonely and being alone. Freedom was something we played. You played a waiting game, I wait and I stay. You know what I want A...

I thank you your letters though they come to me slowly I hear the city's in a panic with its first foot of snow I want to answer you quickly having read you again 'Cause it sounds like you're dancing with time's favorite friend And it's everyone's secret and m...

there's love in the corners and love down the straight highway there's danger in the outskirts of town and in what you don't say you're either sinking or thinking the dark's your romance or a special one's shining a light on a chance that it's all very worthy...

There's godlike And warlike And strong Like only some show And there's sad like And madlike And had Like we know But by my life be I spirit And by my heart be I woman And by my eyes be I open And by my hands be I whole They say slowly Brings the least shock...

The strap that holds the cart in rein 
Has been let loose by wearing thin
 By wearing thin, by biting through
 The shift in power leans to you And the cart is on a wheel I've wept with joy for the things I've done
 And I've wept as hard for what I left...

I'd think of all those people with their love and understanding how they wear it like they had it from the start i must have been the other kind... the kind with just a lonely mind and heart and from where you stand you're an attractive revelation and from whe...

I thought I would At every turn Turn all of me toward turning down How, with timely grace I would accept The outcomes, that my life, Through various fates, Had born. But even as the soils turned From wealthy black to wistful brown And village turned...

To lay my head on your blessed arm I take my cue from the willow tree For it don't break from just one storm But bends with a strength that keeps it free. When I was young my love was bold Bold like rock and rock like cold Kind love came and said it would be...

She told me about a silver lake tucked tight behind a rock face Your basic demons tell you fools come late (I thought maybe I should go) I had my reasons but they left me in the night Where the quiet meets the cracking of a heartbreak Some mountains you can wa...
