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'd understand that I'd never let it go

I'd be sad that I never held your hand

As you were lowered

But I'd 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'd whisper that I love this night

Now and for forever

To your soul as it flows out of 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

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 the world for what I like, wouldn't let me

But I couldn't turn my back

On the world for what I like, I needed

And I couldn't turn my back

On the world for what I like, wouldn't let me

And I couldn't turn my back

On the world for what I like, I needed

And I shouldn't turn my back

On the sweet smelling blackberry stone
