Silver Tongue from BrotherStranger by Lowland Hum

Rocks and trees move for me
People lift your hands
I’s born with a silver tongue

Words will rise with stacked up sighs
Piled neat and high
From birth’s first light God gave me piercing sight

Symphony
Pour from me
Fill the air with ease

I met a girl worth singing for
The first one I could not ignore
On our wedding day she passed away

Went down to hell to spring her from that jail
My songs unlocked the gates
I tried to bring her home but I looked back and she was gone

Symphonies
Landlocked me
Robbed my nights of sleep

Thought I had the devil fooled but even he’s got rules
I’m cursed to wander alone
The song in me plants the deepest seeds

Deep in the night in the middle of May
I leaned in close and thought I heard her say
My love wait for me now and always
