I’m gonna sit down and play me
one more broken song,
‘cuz you know this road I travel
is so lonely and so long.
I’m so hurt by your silence;
you hardly look my way.
You know it’s in your arms, my love,
that’s where I long to stay.
Reflections of your eyes I see
in every song I sing.
Tell me, love, when does winter
turn to spring?
Open fields and tall bluegrass
passing me by the mile.
You know my heart is longing
to be near you for a while.
I’ve been gone for many days now
and still have far to roam;
but deep within your heart, my love,
there lies my only home.
Reflections of your eyes I see
in every song I sing.
Tell me, love, when does winter
turn to spring?
I’m gonna sit down and play me
one more broken song,
‘cuz you know this road I travel
is so lonely and so long.
