BRIDESVILLE CEMETERY ROAD
THE DAY ROLLS TO A STOP AS THE LAST LIGHT STEALS AWAYTHERE’S A COOL WIND AND HINTS OF RAINTHE KOOTENAY SKY IS BRUISED AND GREYI HEAR A VOICE CALLING ME FROM ACROSS THE YEARSTHROUGH THE GATHERING SHADOWSIT’S MUSIC TO MY EARS
SHE WAS AS SOFT AS SUNLIGHT, BARELY NINETEENWITH HER LONG WILD HAIR OF GOLDAND HER EYES OF MEADOW GREENIN A WEDDING DRESS ON A WARM SPRING AFTERNOONNO ONE COULD EVER KNOW THAT WE’D BE APART SO SOON
AND I SEE HER NOW AS THE FIRST STAR SHINES IT’S LIGHTSHE’S IN A TATTERED GOWN AND HER FACE BONE WHITEAND SHE’S WALKING DOWN THE BRIDESVILLE CEMETERY ROAD
I SHIPPED OUT THAT FALL AS THE GREAT WAR CALLED MY NAMEHISTORY SWEPT ME FAR AWAY AND NOTHING WOULD EVER BE THE SAMEIN A FIELD IN FRANCE I FELL AND TURNED TO DUSTNINETY-FIVE YEARS I’VE BEEN AWAYAND ALL THE GUNS HAVE TURNED TO RUST
I STILL CAN REMEMBER HER ON THE DAY I WENT AWAYWITH THE FEAR BURNING IN HER EYES AND NOTHING LEFT TO SAYHER HEART WAS BEATING STRONG AND FIERCE AGAINST MY CHESTAND NOW AFTER ALL THESE YEARS SHE WELCOMES ME HOMETO TAKE MY REST
AND I SEE HER NOW AS THE FIRST STAR SHINES IT’S LIGHTSHE’S IN A TATTERED GOWN AND HER FACE BONE WHITEAND SHE’S WALKING DOWN THE BRIDESVILLE CEMETERY ROADAND SHE’S WALKING DOWN THE BRIDESVILLE CEMETERY ROAD
