Lyrics

MY EYE THIS FLOWER IN JULEP RUNS

My eye this flower in julep runs
over salty seas I met my love,
he belonged to me--
what finer shores and better mornings
quicken on the breeze--
with parcels fine and critical
I'll tell you what I know
all I've carried washes down
water into stone--
once ankled in the spring of loons
your arms just cannot hold
a child of sorrow falling free--
My eye this flower in julep runs--
