From the recording Ditch Lilies
Lyrics
All our drifting days, so long dispersed
Til we found a place to sink our roots into the earth
We found a place for a beginning
A place to grow, if we are willing
To cast a bloom like ditch lilies
Oh unlikely luck to find our way
Where we got the springtime’s yellow and the summer’s red
We found a place for a beginning
A place to grow, if we are willing
To cast a bloom like ditch lilies
Oh the thundering wonder of the plain
Beating up between the plowed earth and the wheel’s rut
We’re growing
We found a place for a beginning
A place to grow, if we are willing
To cast a bloom like ditch lilies
