Out in the lily fields, pineapple chamomile
Was blowing over the river and old highway
And from the trees came honeysuckle breeze
Pushin' her hair from her shoulders across her face
She liked the April cool. I took a breath or two
We turned a street corner lying in fields of green
Your innocence ain't such a funny thing
When all your glories are back in a rearview scene
Lily won't let me walk away
Lily ain't got nothin' to say
I've been over her, I've been all the way
And I'm sorry that I didn't stay
Well, we made it through the tender years
We were all alone on a wild frontier
Baby who's to say, maybe that explains why
Lily won't let me walk away
I'm not the easy kind. I'll get you off my mind
There ain't no dirt on a shoulder where I remain
But when I think of you, it sends a fire through
Like bringing color to children gone charcoal grey
Lily won't let me walk away
Lily ain't got nothin' to say
I've been over her, I've been all the way
And I'm sorry that I didn't stay
Well, we made it through the tender years.
We were all alone on a wild frontier
Baby who's to say, maybe that explains why
Lily won't let me walk away
