lyrics

How many lies will I tell to create?
How many tries 'fore my mama's heart breaks?
Someday 'fore I die, oh, I wish one more time,
to taste the blackberries' sweetness again.

I knew all along just what I should do.
I'm a man of the mind, I could tell you ain't true.
But I think you'll agree, when you're feelin' this free,
don't foresee that your hands will stain blue.

I've walked on neath the ageless sun,
while I wait for the day that my indigo fades,
but I'm prepared and I'm happy to
return to the patches
and I'd drink from the garden once again for you.

If I could go back, count my blackberries slow.
Savor the taste, for the gardener don't know.
She told me a lie, that this Eden won't die,
but our hearts are still aching alone.
