Mark Kozelek - Harper Road lyrics

Blackberries ripe on the branches Her skin is burning, she bends to pick them Bake a delicious pie For our aching stomachs, we delight Sorrow came in floods this April With out reason, humble warning We're now in May, June and July Don't leave, my love, don't leave my side Bring heaven moonlight glows My love does for you In dreams of Harper Road I'll always find you stretched out like an orange tabby And on the porch with ferns surrounding her And there in breaths she'll take not often There her heart troubles suddenly soften Wild oak spare the deadliest drought Like a mother's will it snuffs out And any flame comes around it breathes in And she'll endure the driest season My blood runs through my only daughter Her eyes are mine, so wide with wonder Be my voice, my light, my power Be with me in my leaving hour Brighter the moonlight glows My love does for you In dreams of Harper Road I'll always find you
