Barefoot by the Cherry Tree

Staring out of a window

Into a gray sky scene

Alone stands a widow

With her skin porcelain

To a black limosine

She exits



Lost in a moment

Waiting to be saved

A sigh from a prophet

Who forsaw this day

An kept on his way

No prediction



I just close my eyes

And you're right there with me

Dancing in the sun

Barefoot by the cherry tree



They tell railroad stories

They have the cold hands

They've no fear of dying

Yes they know the sand man

As he walks this land unrelenting



I just close my eyes

Well, and you're right there with me

Dancing in the sun

Barefoot by the cherry tree

Barefoot by the cherry tree



Pulling hard against the steam

No my trouble ain't what they seem

Sleeping out on the tracks

There's no coming back

So ride on sundowner

Ride out of town

I'll be glad when you're not around

To haunt me

Well let's I close my eyes

Well, and you're right there with me

Dancing in the sun

Barefoot by the cherry tree

Barefoot by the cherry tree
