Lily
Out in the lilyfields, pineapple chamomile
Was blowing over the river and old highway.
And from the trees came honeysuckle breeze
Pushin' her hair from her shoulders across her face.
She liked the April cool. I took a breath or two.
We turned a streetcorner lying in fields of green.
Your innocence ain't such a funny thing
When all your glories are back in a rearview scene.
Lily won't let me walk away.
Lily ain't got nothin' to say.
I've been over her, I've been all the way
And I'm sorry that I didn't stay.
Well, we made it through the tender years.
We were all alone on a wild frontier.
Baby who's to say, maybe that explains why

Lily won't let me walk away.
I'm not the easy kind. I'll get you off my mind.
There ain't no dirt on a shoulder where I remain.
But when I think of you, it sends a fire through
Like bringing color to children gone charcoal grey.
Lily won't let me walk away.
Lily ain't got nothin' to say.
I've been over her, I've been all the way
And I'm sorry that I didn't stay.
Well, we made it through the tender years.
We were all alone on a wild frontier.
Baby who's to say, maybe that explains why
Lily won't let me walk away
