Sad Waters |
Down the road I look and there runs Mary |
Hair of gold and lips like cherries |
We go down to the river where the willows weep |
Take a naked root for a lovers seat |
That rose out of the bitten soil |
But sound to the ground by creeping ivy coils |
O Mary you have seduced my soul |
And I don’t know right from wrong |
Forever a hostage of your child’s world |
And then I ran my tin-cup heart along |
The prison of her ribs |
And with a toss of her curls |
That little girl goes wading in Rollin her dress up past her knee |
Turning these waters into wine |
Then she platted all the willow vines |
Mary in the shallows laughing |
Over where the carp dart |
Spooked by the new shadows that she cast |
Across these sad waters and across my heart |
Name | Year |
