Down past Leiper's Fork
Where the Harpeth bends,
Mary Rose came to her end
With a watermelon pit in her mouth.
Her pale blue eyes
Were open wide
And the snowflakes fell inside.
High above her gaze,
In the sky so grey,
The last Heron flew south.
The fire rolls away
When there ain't nothing left to burn.
Well, those clouds roll in
When summer ends,
And the roses wilt in turn.
The more you gave
The more it took
And it just ain't fair, I know.
But at least before you went to sleep,
You brought a dream right into this world,
Mary Rose.
That seed it cracked,
As the sky turned black,
And it slid on down her throat.
The moon did rise
To say goodbye;
A whippoorwill delivered the note.
Cs her body sank
On that muddy bank,
A sprout rose through her teeth.
C tear did slide
From the corner of her eye;
The world watched in disbelief.
The fire rolls away
When there ain't nothing left to burn.
Well, those clouds roll in
When summer ends,
And the roses wilt in turn.
The more you gave
The more it took
And it just ain't fair, I know.
But at least before you went to sleep,
You brought a dream right into this world,
Mary Rose.
Cs dawn came on,
A little boy's song
Broke upon the Harpeth shore,
At the place where Mary Rose once laid;
But her body laid there no more.
Instead, a watermelon vine
With fruit so fine,
Like emeralds, in the snow they shone.
Little Jackson Rose
Picked the best of those,
And it tasted just like home.
The fire rolls away
When there ain't nothing left to burn.
Well, those clouds roll in
When summer ends,
And the roses wilt in turn.
The more you gave
The more it took
And it just ain't fair, I know.
But at least before you went to sleep,
You brought a dream right into this world,
Mary Rose.

Down past Leiper's Fork
Where the Harpeth bends,
Mary Rose came to her end
With a watermelon pit in her mouth.
Her pale blue eyes
Were open wide
And the snowflakes fell inside.
High above her gaze,
In the sky so grey,
The last Heron flew south.
The fire rolls away
When there ain't nothing left to burn.
Well, those clouds roll in
When summer ends,
And the roses wilt in turn.
The more you gave
The more it took
And it just ain't fair, I know.
But at least before you went to sleep,
You brought a dream right into this world,
Mary Rose.

As the sky turned black,
And it slid on down her throat.

A whippoorwill delivered the note.

On that muddy bank,

From the corner of her eye;
