Kentucky Moon Lyrics by Jake McNeillie

Dream Country

2015

The day that her pah died
I seen the tears in her sea green eyes
The mist of her breath
'Neath the winter stars
I heald her close
To heal her tender scars
Made her way to Lexington
From a clapboard farm
Board a rusty bus
I remember her under a Kentucky Moon
Dancing on bright rainbows
In the dark of night with pigtails in her hair
I remember her laughing in the autumn leaves
Rays of sunshine on her facе
Young shining grace with ribbons in 'er hair
Years latеr cross the bluegrass hills
Stone fenced roads to Louiesville
Found her lyin' 'neath a pillar of stairs
With the sunshine beaten' out of 'er freckled face
I remember her under a Kentucky Moon
Dancing on bright rainbows
In the dark of night with pigtails in her hair
I remember her laughing in the autumn leaves
Rays of sunshine on her face
Young shining grace with ribbons in 'er hair
She turned ta' whorin' ta' feed lust after time
After loosin' 'er job at the coal mine
Yet she still dreams 'bout 'er better days
Of ridin' horses and playin' in the hay
I remember her under a traffic light
Holding her oh so tight
In the winter rain in the dark cold night
I remember her as the light went out of her eyes
She left with a harsh sweet smile
Peered into my face one moment of grace
