Appalachian Parting
I stood before the skies
and listened to your lies
so your testament of love
means nothing.
Oh,
but lover, can’t you see
that
never would I deceive and thou art in error believing
I could do you wrong.
These mountains of smoke
know the heartache you wrote
and I am leaving here tomorrow
to return never.
Please lover, act not in haste
for it would be a waste
to burn to ashes
the passion we once knew.
Say
no more, my one-time love
I am
taking boots, hat and glovesand will ne’er see you more
until that Resurrection Morning.
My
heart is sure to ache
in
the error that you make.Please, let us reason together
and find some margin of truth.
I’ve
nothing now to speak
toward
the agreement that you seek.Our time spent is as nightfall
and our loving as the snows.
