The Far Distant Shore

I was a country girl to you 
When you let me go
And I should have let you know
That there’s no far distant shore
You can traverse that would make me love you no more
And you’ve been closer to me than any man
And you’ve access to places that no one can
Get into
Because I know that you
Can be trusted
And I think I might have been busted
In New York City
And it may have been a pity
That the stormed never rained a cloud
On a dream that would have made you proud
And there are vicissitudes that lie
Above the ground where we will die
And fade into the earth
I know it hurt
But don’t let that blind you
To the people that mind you
From what you seek
Don’t think that I am weak
Just because I don’t play the fool
That I used to in school
To detract their eyes
From my truth among the lies
That abound
I answer when I hear your sound
