Tallulah

The leaves they will change And fall, and come back again A fact that seems so strange Yet never begs a question Fathers dance, sisters sing Uncles and cousins give diamond rings Children laugh, mothers cry Frailty fuels the burning fire Who taught me That the water would always be blue Some shady place Near the falls on the river Talluh I'll always love you The straw will cover family With bright light colors where she can see And Honey walks the gravel road I'll see her again when it snows Who will tend to All the flowers before the rain I hope that I will see you Uncovered once again I'll always love you The pines will tell an untold tale The ice holds on an unsung bird And the Carpentry to Old Andy The yellow butterfly will return Who taught me That the water would always be blue Some shady place Near the falls on the river Talluh I'll always love you
