Ellis Paul - Clarity lyrics
Do you remember Rose McGuire Her hair was red as fire A child of the Carolinas She was a blue eyed streak of wild And she fell for the smile of a soldier boy Who was running from the stars and stripes He layed her down in a clover field Took her breath with a hurricane's might She lay trembling watching the stars criss cross the night Chorus: Clarity, clarity Lord I need your charity Won't you sing me a sweet old song Your voice won't lead me wrong When you sing of truth the truth will lift the haze And your song with see me through to better days When I was born she was 16 And every steeple in the three church town Was ringing with shame People whispered like rain of the baby but no wedding gown So climb abroard the highway leads Where nobody knows your name You plant each step like it was a seed You make peace with what you cannot change And she sang me to sleep while the Greyhound cut the rain Chorus Bridge(?) My name is Annie McGuire I've come here looking for my father He's a soldier faded ina photograph Just a kid in a uniform Now I haven't come here to scare you off A thousand questions I need answered I only know we share the same smile And the truth can be a mighty fine dancer My mother's gone and a little clarity is all I'm after Chorus |
