Well, I had me a wedding and a dress so white. and a man put pretty little stars in my eyes. Then I woke up one morning, he was gone. Lord, he jumped a train to San Antone.
My father died a year ago today.. The rooster started crowing when they carried Dad away.. There beside my mother, in the living room, I stood,. With my brothers and my sisters, knowing Dad was gone for good..
My life, it don't count for nothing.. When I look at this world, I feel so small.. My life, it's only a season:. A passing September that no one will recall..
(chorus) Mornin glory, fuschia in green. You sweet little Jezebel in my garden of dreams. Petals clenched tightly in the late morning sun. My day is just starting, your day is done.
Mornin' glory, fuschia in green. You sweet little Jezebel in my garden of dreams. Petals clenched tightly in the late morning sun. My day is just starting, Your day is done.
I'd walk for miles, cry and smile for my Mama and Daddy. I want them, I want them to know. How I feel, my love is real for my Mama and Daddy. I want them to know I love them so.
Well, it got so hot last night I swear you couldn't hardly breathe. Heat lightning burned the sky like alcohol. I sat on the porch without my shoes. and watched the cars roll by.
She grew up plain and simple in a farming town. Her daddy played the fiddle and used to do the calling when they had hoedowns. She says the neighbors would come and they'd move all my grandma's furniture 'round.
# 11 Mama Was Always Tellin Her Truth. Slow She'd walk down the levy from big alley all the Brighton every morning. (Piano intro). . Well my mama she was always tellin her truth, Times were hard and thats how she made it through.
Makin' my way back home,. It's been the longest time. Not since I was a little child,. Have I felt so good and fine. The easiest thing I've ever done,.
Hey, look how far we've come, do we know who we are?. Stranded on a mountain top trying to catch a falling star. Here's to what we've left behind us, here's to what we've kept inside.
And he who was righteous. loomed radiant, striding. Behind the Lord's messenger up the black hill. But she walked reluctant—alarm. spoke within her;. "It is not too late, you may look on it still,.

A woman's voice, like the wind, it rushes. Nocturnal, moist and black. And as it flies, whatever it brushes. It changes and it won't change back. . It's a diamond-shine, comes to bathe and bless.
Like a white stone deep in a draw-well lying. As hard and clear a memory lies in me. I cannot strive, nor have I heart for striving. It is such pain and yet such ecstasy..
I wrote my mother yesterday 'cause I had some things that I had to say. and I know that when she reads them she's gonna cry. But in the end I hope she sees.

What a fellowship, what a joy divine,. Leaning on the everlasting arms;. What a blessedness, what a peace is mine,. Leaning on the everlasting arms.. (chorus).
