Saunders Ferry Lane

It's 66 and cloudy here this mornin'

I'll make a bet those clouds will turn to rain

The weather's rusted out the sign and I almost missed the turn

That'll take me down to Saunders Ferry Lane

The creakin' boards of the empty dock are the only sounds I hear

The sign on the catfish stand says "Closed 'til Spring"

Summer drowned in the frozen lake as winter came to life

And nothing moves in Saunders Ferry Lane

Nothing moves in Saunders Ferry Lane

Raindrops mingle with the leaves that tumble to the ground

As I find my way to the spot where we once lay

But the grass is dead, the laughter's gone and the birds have flown away

It's awful cold in Saunders Ferry Lane

Awful cold in Saunders Ferry Lane

The gentle arms that held me

And made me want tomorrow now are, are gone

We found so much comfort in the way we loved each other

Then the angels came as quietly as the dawn

Standing by the water in an icy winter wind

I find no present comfort for my pain

No gentle arms to hold me now, I know there's nothin' worse

Than a day alone in Saunders Ferry Lane

A day alone in Saunders Ferry Lane

It's 32 and raining here this evening

I'll make a bet that rain will turn to snow

It's hard to see through the tears

And I almost missed the turn

The easy way from Saunders Ferry Lane

The easy way from Saunders Ferry Lane
