Devil's Hopyard from Stronger by novvaa

Went for a hike today
Came upon a tree engraved
With the inscription "all alone"
Amongst initials of lovers
Who wrote these words I wonder,
And how they came to feel so alone?

May they find some calm and peace in solitude
May the music of the trees bring them fortitude to carry on

Heard the rushing water
Of Eight-Mile River
Where an old man stood, playing his guitar
He strummed the same three chords
Over and over
The sound faded across the park

May he find some calm and peace in solitude
May the music of the trees bring him fortitude to carry on

Came upon a mother
Holding cigarettes and water
Told me she'd been driving round all day
Looking for anyone
To tell she'd lost her son
He died three years ago today

May she find some calm and peace in solitude
May the music of the trees bring her fortitude to carry on
