lyrics

Lucy Brown

Dear friend, dear friend,
I wrote you a letter
I did not send it, cause I didn't know whether
It would find you well
or even find you at all

please forgive me this
mortal strangeness
If I say your name aloud
when I talk to the clouds
I'd leave it all behind
If they answer back in kind
Lucy Brown

Lucy Brown, Lucy Brown
hold my breath without a sound
until I can see you again

wind up the music box
Well we'll dance then we'll go throw rocks
at the shadows that keep us apart

I know your husband left you
and your children cry his name
Well the frost is cruel and flowers die
But they come back just the same
And Autumn never knows, the color Springtime shows
those who wait

And if we survive this winter
the snow will melt and the finches
will return to the fences by the river side
and we'll picnic on a blanket in the sun
Lucy Brown

Chorus

And in the abundance of summertime
we'll laugh at my made up rhymes
in the meadow where the Aspen trees
laugh all day in the lazy breeze
and we'll dance like fools
'till the moonlight calls us home

See only nature loves perpetually
with malice and innocence equally
and the words can't find solace
when they cut down that old oak tree
but the acorn knows
when the cold wind blows
he calls your name,
Lucy Brown

Yes the acorn knows
when the cold wind blows
he calls your name,
Lucy Brown
