EMERALD ROSE: SONG LYRICS
all lyrics (c) Emerald Rose
1998-2004 except where noted
Just a sweet sad bluegrass ballad.
BLUE MOUNTAIN RUE
words
and music by Larry Morris
When I first laid eyes upon you I saw golden mountain meadows
where my busy life could stop its race and watch the buzzing bees
Pretty soon our hearts were dancing by the banks of rock-strewn rivers
and our love began to blossom underneath the poplar trees
You're my blue mountain rue, you're my Appalachian sunset
Though you broke my heart it's true, still I wish you safe and well
Though I've loved one or two and I may yet love another
Still that blue mountain rue grows in everyplace I dwell
Well my feet have done some wand'ring but my heart lies in the mountains
where we spent one perfect summer watching hawks soar in the sky
But there came an autumn evening when the love had left your features
and the ground was chill indeed upon the day you said goodbye
(chorus)
In the garden of my heart I will till a fertile crescent
I will keep the seed alive in hopes of your springtime return
Will my love be coming back to the soul she knows is waiting
or is this another lesson for my lonely heart to learn...
(chorus)
