Woodsmoke Lyrics

Woodsmoke pipe smoke What will you remember? Half lit doorway Hot fake leather Old green car Dust in the sun Parked by the river When the river still run Cocktails mares’ tails Chickens in the grass Supper on the table The bucket for the ashes Hard words sometimes Love all the time Heat lightning in the window A train whistle dying All I want to know is What's going to stick around? Is anybody listening To what you’re laying down? When everything you love is gone There's nothing but the sound Just a ghost in a speaker When curtain comes down Swallows and risers Under the bridge Dogwood and plum blossom Brown eggs and quince honey Mama in the garden Pushing back her hair If you’re going up to heaven I’ll meet you there
