Generate meaning
1
Lily lived in a farmhouse at the edge of town
2
Long black braids like anchor chains
3
How they weighed her down
4
Dark eyes, pale skin
5
Mean dad, she was my second grade friend
6
My very best friend
7
She had four older brothers that I sometimes dreamed about
8
Mennonite children like wild indians
9
In a one room schoolhouse
10
At sixteen she ran away
11
Married, her first chance to escape
12
Oh Lily, why'd you have to cut your hair
13
Oh Lily, I loved us just the way we were
14
Princess of the field and daughter of the moon
15
Oh Lily
16
A lifetime later I passed through Buffalo and found her house
17
Same sweet Lily was looking through the eyes
18
Of the woman I was talking to now
19
She gave me a rose she made
20
Of silk and memories of a lost yesterday
21
Oh Lily, why'd you have to cut your hair
22
Oh Lily, I loved us just the way we were
23
Princess of the field and daughter of the moon
24
Oh Lily
25
Two silhouettes in the afternoon
26
Princess of the field and daughter of the moon
27
Oh Lily, why'd you have to cut your hair
28
Oh Lily, I loved us just the way we were
29
Princess of the field and daughter of the moon
30
Oh Lily
31
Oh Lily, why'd you have to cut your hair
32
Oh Lily, I loved us just the way we were
33
Princess of the field and daughter of the moon
34
Oh Lily
Lily of the West
