Saunders Ferry Lane

Lyrics

[Verse 1] It's sixty-six and cloudy this mornin' I'll make a bet those clouds will turn to rain The weather's rusted out the sign And I almost missed the turn That'll take me down to Saunders Ferry Lane [Verse 2] The creekin' boards of the empty dock Are the only sounds I hear The sign on the catfish stand says, "Closed 'til spring" The summer drown in the frozen lake As the winter came to life [Refrain] And nothing moves in Saunders Ferry Lane Nothing moves in Saunders Ferry Lane [Verse 3] Raindrops mingle with the leaves That tumble to the ground As I find my way to the spot Where we once lay But the grass is dead The laughter's gone And the birds have flown away [Refrain] It's awful cold in Saunders Ferry Lane Awful cold in Saunders Ferry Lane [Bridge] The gentle arms that held me And made me want tomorrow, now are gone We found so much comfort In the way we loved each other Then the angels came As quietly as the dawn [Verse 4] Standing by the water In the icy winter wind I find no present comfort for my pain No gentle arms to hold me now I know there's nothin' worse [Refrain] Than a day alone in Saunders Ferry Lane A day alone in Saunders Ferry Lane [Outro] It's thirty-two and raining this evening I'll make a bet that rain will turn to snow Awful cold in Saunders Ferry Lane
