The Ballad Of Jody Baxter Lyrics - Light For The Lost Boy - Andrew Peterson

Do you remember, Jody Baxter 

When the whippoorwill sings 

How you stole across the pasture 

To the little hidden spring? 

Where you laid down by the water 

On a bed of Spanish moss 

And dreamed 

When wind was on the prairie 

And the fire was in the stove 

With the wood you had to carry 

From the corner of the grove 

And your daddy let you disappear 

With all your fishing gear 

Into the cove

And it was good, good, good 

But now it's gone, gone, gone 

And there's a little boy 

Who's lost out in the woods 

Always looking for the fawn 

I remember, Jody Baxter 

When I hid out in the corn 

How the clouds were moving faster 

With the coming of the storm 

And I knew that I had broken 

Something I could not repair 

And I mourned 

Because the field was green as Eden 

Then it withered into brown 

In the middle of my grieving 

They came and cut it down 

And I was sure that it was all my fault 

The day they mowed the garden 

To the ground

What was good, good, good 

Is gone, gone, gone 

And there's a little boy 

Who's lost out in the woods 

Always looking for the fawn 

So come back to me 

Please, come back to me 

Is there any way that we can 

Change the ending of this tragedy? 

Or does it have to be this way? 

I can see you, Jody Baxter 

Now you're broken by the years 

As you lie down in the aster 

And listen for the deer 

And I'm a million miles away 

But I still pray the fawn can find me
