from The Days When Peonies Prayed For The Ants, track released May 11, 2018
He was older, cooler, and ultimately wiser
Handsome, he had grey hair and dirty blue jeans
She was too young, sad, and definitely doe-eyed
but what could she do the man swept her off her feet

Separated by Time 14 years
Separated by Time She didn't seem to mind
Separated by Time The old folks rolled their eyes
Separated by Time and nobody felt it more than him

So they chanced it through doubt
And backwoods superstition
Relying on the notion that luck was on their side
They danced, and drank away that PA summer
Under moonlight in a place where bonfires grab @ the skies

Separated by Time 14 years
Separated by Time She didn't seem to mind
Separated by Time The old folks rolled their eyes
Separated by Time and nobody felt it more than him

Separated by Time The old folks rolled their eyes
Separated by Time and nobody felt it more than her

The last time that I saw her she was in her Mamas kitchen
Cryin with her baby
& He was sayin goodbye

Separated by Time
Separated by Time
