Za's Stair - Plownard's Way Lyrics

She fought in the war but she never sailed
I tried to heal her and I always failed

Took my love to Tennessee, unsatisfied
Sorry that she'd never see the world inside
Consumption is a demon in azure hue
Days inch into torment as I'm losing you

Rushes beneath her lowered sails
Docked in the harbor as something frail

Journeyman must drink alone - the money's spent
In hopes to exorcise a thing that never left
Took my love to Trestle Lake - our final ride
Spring leaves couldn't help restore a fading light

And so in this way we danced around the maze
Sad smiles in the sunshine and weak lemonade

I told her, Forgive me; my hope is spent
Her hand held tight to me and I never left

I never left
