Heartstrings
There's an
old barn in Brown County
With hand hewn logs and high high ceilings
Chambers that open up spaces that light's never seen
Dairy cattle and cloth
pressed cheeses
Damp and cool following breezes
Through hedgerows and
hemlock that line the runaway streams
So wrap me up with the
heartstrings
I've played for so many years
To love you as long as is
offered
Tomorrow's forever my dear
Light scattered roses tear and
unravel
The meadow's soft and blanketed bedding
Where apples once fell
now you are sitting still
Surrounded by green I fall and I'm laughing
Lost in the feelings, I've found what I'm missing
So play with me forever
in these fields
So wrap me up with the heartstrings
I've played
for so many years
To love you as long as is offered
Tomorrow's forever
my dear
An old wire fence, ornate and now rusting
Separates what
had been and is coming
Ifs and thens and yes it will certainly be
I
can see you asleep in the hammock
Soft smell of pine and freshly worn
leather
You are the magical gift so precious to me
So wrap me up
with the heartstrings
I've played for so many years
To love you as long
as is offered
Tomorrow's forever my dear
