lyrics

Oh my, field of flowers
Oh my, sky full of stars
Oh my lands, oh my waters
Look at your daughter
Who holds her head up in the dark

How did that one song go
Something bout an angel
Who wore a pompadour for a halo
My well is pretty dry
But I’ll sing for her
I’ll lift the rusty lid
I’ll let the record twirl

Everybody wants something from you
You just got that way
But oh my darling, is it lonely
To be the hand that’s holding
Everyone and everything

How did that one song go
It made the sound of grace
It rode to town on six white horses
With west virginia plates
My well is pretty dry
But I’ll sing for her
I’ll lift my tired head
I’ll let the spirit twirl

Oh my haunts and my hollers
Oh my valley of days
Oh my dark, rushing waters
Look at her daughters
Look at what the light hath made
Look at what the light hath made

How did that one song go?
Thought it was meant for me
But it’s for my little sisters
I can hear their running feet
My well is pretty dry
But I’ll sing for them
I’ll that one song go
We’ll let the B-side -- spin

Oh my darling ain’t it something
To see the sun come running
Out from behind the rain
Oh my darling ain’t it something
To see the sun come running
At the mention of your name
