 Struggling with Lily? Become a better singer in 30 days with these videos!

Lily lived in a farmhouse at the edge of town 
Long black braids like anchor chains 
How they weighed her down 
Dark eyes, pale skin 
Mean dad, she was my second grade friend 
My very best friend 
She had four older brothers that I sometimes dreamed about 
Mennonite children like wild indians 
In a one room schoolhouse 
At sixteen she ran away 
Married, her first chance to escape 
Oh Lily, why'd you have to cut your hair 
Oh Lily, I loved us just the way we were 
Princess of the field and daughter of the moon 
Oh Lily 
A lifetime later I passed through Buffalo and found her house 
Same sweet Lily was looking through the eyes 
Of the woman I was talking to now 
She gave me a rose she made 
Of silk and memories of a lost yesterday 
Oh Lily, why'd you have to cut your hair 
Oh Lily, I loved us just the way we were 
Princess of the field and daughter of the moon 
Oh Lily 
Two silhouettes in the afternoon 
Princess of the field and daughter of the moon 
Oh Lily, why'd you have to cut your hair 
Oh Lily, I loved us just the way we were 
Princess of the field and daughter of the moon 
Oh Lily 
Oh Lily, why'd you have to cut your hair 
Oh Lily, I loved us just the way we were 
Princess of the field and daughter of the moon 
Oh Lily
