The Mowing Field
The Mowing Field
I go up through the mowing field
My poor heart reviles it's old passions of long ago
The headless aftermath of the beating past
Keeps hanging around like a necklace around my nick
The pain hovers over me like the clouds of gray
Half closes is the garden path where you lay
I come to the garden ground
The whir of sober birds sing why my poor heartaches
I kneel down to pray but my words was hard for me to say
Oh how much I love you I do hope you known it
I do hope I gave my all to you
My tears I couldn't hold back they came down like rain
On the ground the leaves lingered with the breeze
sweeping them away softly
I end not far from my going forth
to pick up the faded blue rose
Of long ago I have given to you on Your grave
Oh how my poor heartaches for you
I just hang on to your love I once known
As I walk away with no more words I could say
But to put another in the other ones place
With a word I will always love you .
