[Verse 1]
Blackberries ripe on the branches
Her skin is burning, she bends to pick them
Bake a deep, delicious pie
For our aching stomachs' sweet delight
[Verse 2]
Sorrow came in floods this April
Without reasons, flashes, warnings
Now in May, June and July
Don't leave my love, don't leave my side
[Chorus]
Brighter than moonlight glows
My love does for you
In dreams of Harper Road
I'll always find you stretched out like an orange tabby
[Bridge]
And on the porch with ferns surrounding her
And there a breath she'll take not often
There her hard troubles subtly soften
[Verse 3]
Wild oaks bear the deadliest drought
Like a mother's will it snuffs out
And any flame come 'round it breezin'
And she'll endure the driest season
[Verse 4]
My blood runs through my only daughter
Her eyes are mine, so wide with wonder
Be my voice, my light, my power
Be with me in my leaving hour
[Chorus]
Brighter than moonlight glows
My love does for you
In dreams of Harper Road
I'll always find you
