Banks Of The Edisto

I've been lazy

I've been overfed

I've been thinking

Too much with my head

I was dreaming

About the life you led

On the banks of the edisto



On the banks of the edisto

Where the sweet gum and the cypress grows

I want to know what the cypress knows

On the banks of the edisto



Where'd you go

When you died my friend

Do you see us

Did your soul ascend

And I listened

For his answer then

On the banks of the edisto



Heaven's here where the bard owl cries

Where the smile meets my sweetheart's eyes

I'll be right here taming dragonflies

Only heaven I need to know



On the banks of the edisto

Where the sweet gum

And the cypress grows

I want to know what the cypress knows

On the banks of the edisto



I've been lazy

I've been overfed

I've been thinking too much with my head

I've been dreaming

About the life you led

On the banks of the edisto
