(Jonathan Kingham & Mark Erelli)

She was the parson's only daughter
And a poor sharecropper's dream
Her voice as sweet as falling water
From the cool clear mountain stream
We came to share a love forbidden
A union cursed by family
To be forever unforgiven
When we swore eternity

We settled hard on twenty acres
Ploughed the fields and worked the land
But the fever came to take her
With its unforgiving hand
I tried to soothe her shaking body
But no peace could I provide
She said I hear the angles singing softly
I'm bound to cross that Great Divide

CHORUS
Take my ashes to the river
Where the water's cold and deep
Take my ashes to the river
Pray the Lord my soul to keep

One mournful morning in late November
Faithful to her last desire
I burned her body down to embers
Scooped the ashes from the fire
Down on the banks of the Blackstone River
For to drown her memory
As her spirit I delivered
I heard her calling out to me


Mirror lyrics:

I heard her calling out to me
As her spirit I delivered
For to drown her memory
Down on the banks of the Blackstone River
Scooped the ashes from the fire
I burned her body down to embers
Faithful to her last desire
One mournful morning in late November

Pray the Lord my soul to keep
Take my ashes to the river
Where the water's cold and deep
Take my ashes to the river
CHORUS

I'm bound to cross that Great Divide
She said I hear the angles singing softly
But no peace could I provide
I tried to soothe her shaking body
With its unforgiving hand
But the fever came to take her
Ploughed the fields and worked the land
We settled hard on twenty acres

When we swore eternity
To be forever unforgiven
A union cursed by family
We came to share a love forbidden
From the cool clear mountain stream
Her voice as sweet as falling water
And a poor sharecropper's dream
She was the parson's only daughter

Popular Songs:
you are the ocean

someone's got to lose

alright then

rage hard

i'd rather live than die

because of you

what you are

legend

falling to pieces

i wish lunch could last forever

caledonia

nobody wins

the angels cry

indifference

it's a beautiful morning

in your eyes

journã©e d'amã©rique

when the circus cmoes

the way i see you
