Lily |
| Lily lived in a farmhouse at the edge of town |
| Long black braids like anchor chains |
| How they weighed her down |
| Dark eyes, pale skin |
| Mean dad, she was my second grade friend |
| My very best friend |
| She had four older brothers that I sometimes dreamed about |
| Mennonite children like wild indians |
| In a one room schoolhouse |
| At sixteen she ran away |
| Married, her first chance to escape |
| Oh Lily, why’d you have to cut your hair |
| Oh Lily, I loved us just the way we were |
| Princess of the field and daughter of the moon |
| Oh Lily |
| A lifetime later I passed through Buffalo and found her house |
| Same sweet Lily was looking through the eyes |
| Of the woman I was talking to now |
| She gave me a rose she made |
| Of silk and memories of a lost yesterday |
| Oh Lily, why’d you have to cut your hair |
| Oh Lily, I loved us just the way we were |
| Princess of the field and daughter of the moon |
| Oh Lily |
| Two silhouettes in the afternoon |
| Princess of the field and daughter of the moon |
| Oh Lily, why’d you have to cut your hair |
| Oh Lily, I loved us just the way we were |
| Princess of the field and daughter of the moon |
| Oh Lily |
| Oh Lily, why’d you have to cut your hair |
| Oh Lily, I loved us just the way we were |
| Princess of the field and daughter of the moon |
| Oh Lily |
