From the recording Song Like A Seed
This song was commissioned as a wedding gift for “Tweetie” from “Lovey.” After 30 years together, the right for them to marry finally became a reality. Oh, what a grand celebration they had!
Lyrics
City girl meets country gal, that was many years ago
A flowering of friendship grew with love and a garden hoe
Sweaty brows and dirty hands, together we were free
Bringing in the harvest, planting dreams of “yet to be”
Growing love together, winter, spring, summer, fall
From the wee hours of the morning
‘Til the evening shadows fall
Through the dark of night, until the break of day
Weaving together magenta and the grey
A minuet of friendship, a lover’s lullaby
Through tears and tough times, holding close through the heavy sigh
Soon the clouds are lifting, and the lost smile is found
Laughter rolling easy as we dance another round
We could talk for hours, passion burning bright
Blazing like the big red sun in the broad blue daylight
And sit in silence, softly, in a calm, familiar way
Fiery magenta deep within the quiet grey
City girl meets country gal, that was many years ago
Hand in hand together we make this garden grow
Sweaty brows and dirty hands, together we are free
Bringing in the harvest, planting dreams of “yet to be”
