Bang The Drum Slowly lyrics song presented by Emmylou Harris : I meant to ask you how to fix that car I always meant to ask you about the war And what you saw across a bridge too far Did it leave a scar Or how you navigated wings of fire and steel Up where heaven had no more secrets to conceal And still you found the ground beneath your wheels How did it feel Bang the drum slowly play the pipe lowly To dust be returning from dust we begin Bang the drum slowly I'll speak of things holy Above and below me world without end I meant to ask you how when everything seemed lost And your fate was in a game of dice they tossed There was still that line that you would never cross At any cost I meant to ask you how you lived what you believed With nothing but your heart up your sleeve And if you ever really were deceived By the likes of me Bang the drum slowly play the pipe lowly To dust be returning from dust we begin Bang the drum slowly I'll speak of things...

Prayer In Open D lyrics song presented by Emmylou Harris : (Emmylou Harris) There's a valley of sorrow in my soul Where every night I hear the thunder roll Like the sound of a distant gun Over all the damage I have done And the shadows filling up this land Are the ones I built with my own hand There is no comfort from the cold Of this valley of sorrow in my soul There's a river of darkness in my blood And through every vein I feel the flood I can find no bridge for me to cross No way to bring back what is lost Into the night it soon will sweep Down where all my grievances I keep But it won't wash away the years Or one single hard and bitter tear And the rock of ages I have known Is a weariness down in the bone I use to ride it like a rolling stone Now just carry it alone There's a highway risin' from my dreams Deep in the heart I know it gleams For I have seen it stretching wide Clear across to the other side Beyond the river and the flood And the valley where for ...

My Name Is Emmett Till Lyrics song presented by Emmylou Harris : I was born a black boy My name is Emmett Till I walked this earth for 14 years And one night I was killed For speaking to a woman Whose skin was white as dough That's a sin in Mississippi But how was I to know? I'd come down from Chicago To visit with my kin Up there I was a cheeky kid I guess I'd always been But the harm they put upon me Was too hard for what I'd done For I was just a black boy And never hurt no one Oh oh oh oh oh oh Oh oh oh oh oh oh They took me from my uncle's house Mose Wright was his name. He'd later stand and, without hesitation, Point the blame At the ones who beat and cut me And shot me with a gun And threw me in the river Like I was trash when they were done I was sent back to my mother, At least what was left of me, She kept my casket open For the whole wide world to see The awful desecration And the evidence of hate You could not recognize me The mutilation was so grea...

My Father's House Lyrics song presented by Emmylou Harris : (Bruce Springsteen) Last night I dreamed that I was a child Out where the pines grow wild and tall I was trying to make it home through the forest Before the darkness falls I heard the wind rustling through the trees And ghostly voices rose from the fields I ran with my heart pounding down that broken path With the devil snappin' at my heels I broke through the trees, and there in the night My father's house stood shining hard and bright The branches and brambles tore my clothes and scratched my arms But I ran till I fell, shaking in his arms I awoke and I imagined the hard things that pulled us apart Will never again, sir, tear us from each other's hearts I got dressed, and to that house I did ride From out on the road, I could see it's windows shining in light I walked up the steps and stood on the porch A woman I didn't recognize came and spoke to me through a chained door I told her my story, and w...

My Baby Needs A Shepherd Lyrics song presented by Emmylou Harris : My baby needs a shepherd, she's lost out on the hill Too late, I tried to call her when the night was cold and still And I tell myself I'll find her but I know I never will My baby needs a shepherd, she's lost out on the hill My baby needs an angel, she never learned to fly She'll not reach sanctuary just by looking to the sky I guess I could have carried her but I didn't even try My baby needs an angel, she never learned to fly Oh, I ran so far through a broken land I was following that drummer, beating in a different band Somewhere on the highway, I let go of her hand Now she's gone forever like her footprints in the sand Toora loora loora lo, first the seed and then the rose Toora loora loora li, my kingdom for a lullaby My baby needs a pilot, she has no magic wand To help her part the troubled waters of the Rubicon But in my soul, I know she'll have to go this one alone After all that is...

My Antonia Lyrics song presented by Emmylou Harris : He said "Oh my love.
