The Lily and the Brakeman - Jason Molina, Will Johnson, Molina And Johnson

Who’s heart is that on the allegheny

With the lily in her autumn hair

That chestnut i’d won with the broken heart

Whose sorrow and whose tears

Rhododendron waits in the shadow’s time

Mountain whisperin

Let the moon be the next shore you find

Leave the boy behind

Who does the whistle of the #8

Read the mind of the wave

The twilight had rolled through the pines

And the first lily that he gave

You took his name, he brought you just sorrow

The brakeman with the stargaze in his eyes

Has lost you now, his only love

Leave the lily behind

Leave the lily behind
