lyrics

a festival tent, a wintertime trip
that library tour, his trembling lip
when he fell for me

two years to the day, our daffodil hour
two hearts finally home, true love finally ours
he will marry me

we planned on living light and traveling far
currency of laughter, a couple old guitars

a stormy first year, the whippingest gale
rough waters ahead, red flag for a sail
we’re in trouble here

ours daffodil stems all bent and torn thin
their sad yellow mouths cried the bleak giving-in
surrendering

we did not have a language for our pain
i flooded him with pleas and sighs, he didn’t say a thing

i waited for words, i watched him for signs
but there’s nobody here and the garden’s gone dry

those shoes in the hall, my towel on the rack
and that frame on the nail – i take it all back

’cause no one can survive on nothing-there
i came here for the long haul and it don’t seem fair
what to do but pack up and move on
in search of other gardens
singing other songs

last box in the truck, my cat in her crate
so long to this love and my daffodil days

bye-bye

-- doylestown, pennsylvania
