Blackberry Stone

Well I own this field, and I wrote this sky

And I have no reason to reason with you



I'd be sad that I never held your hand as you were lowered,

But I understand that I'd never let it go

I'd be sad that I never held your hand as you were lowered,

But I understand that the world does what it does



And you never did learn to let the little things go

And you never did learn to let me be

And you never did learn to let little people grow

And you never did learn how to see



But I whisper that I love this man, now and for forever

To your soul as it floats out off the window

To the world that you turned your back on

To the world that never really let you be



And I am lower now and lower still

And you did always say that one day I would suffer

You did always say that people get their pay

You did always say that I was going places

And that you wouldn't have it any other way



But I couldn't turn my back

On a world for what I lack wouldn't let me

But I couldn't turn my back

On a world for what I like I need it



But I couldn't turn my back

On a world for what I lack wouldn't let me

But I couldn't turn my back

On a world for what I like I need it



And I shouldn't turn my back on a sweet smelling blackberry stone
