LONG IRON – Jez Lowe (Lowe Life Music)
Long iron are you left undone?
For to rust in the rain and sun,
Strange to find you lost and lonely,
Yet still so straight and strong.
And don’t you miss the day,
And the wind hears the long iron say,
Don’t try to hold that moment in your hand.
Don’t try to hold that moment in your hand,
For it’ll only burn you,
And I can only warn you,
Don’t try to hold that moment in your hand.
We were lovers in well-dressed wood,
Now a fool freezes where we stood
By long iron limbs lying,
Silver gone brown.
Where loving limbs made free
The long iron whispers to me,
Don’t try to hold that moment in your hand.
When a man thinks he’s got things tamed,
Stronger hands come to reclaim it,
Not one thing that luck might lend you
It can’t take back,
Long iron was cast in fire,
As hot as love’s first desire
But don’t try to hold that moment in your hand.
