Resurrection Fern (intro) In our days we will live like our ghosts will live. Pitching glass at the corn-field crows and folding clothes. Like stubborn boys across the road we’ll keep everything. Grandma’s gun and the black bear claw that took her dog. And when sister Lowry says Amen we won’t hear anything. The ten car train will take that word; that fledgling bird. And the fallen house across the way it’ll keep everything. The baby’s breath our bravery wasted and our shame. chorus: And we’ll undress beside the ashes of the fire Both our tender bellies wound in bailing wire. All the more a pair of underwater pearls than the oak tree and its resurrection fern. (solo) In our days we will say what our ghosts will say. We gave the world what it saw fit and what we get. Like stubborn boys with big green eyes we’ll keep everything. In the tepid shade of the autumn leaves and the buzzard’s wing. (chorus and outro) * And that’s it.  Email with corrections or comments.
