Lonely Lily

Lonely Lily at the well

Let me say good morning

Listen to the birds today

Lovely, as they’re soaring


Lonely Lily at the well

Likely hard of hearing

Let me water you today

Lest the sun come daring


Lonely Lily at the well

Lost while you’re still standing

Luckily, I’ve got a sac of

Lovely seeds for handling


Lonely Lily at the well…you

Letter me a warning

Load your truck, pack your bags

Leave the place for mourning


Lonely Lily at the well

Listless as I’m thrumming

Love has got me useless now

Love has got you running
