SAUNDERS FERRY LANE
SAMMI SMITH
INTRO: Gm
VERSE:
Gm
It's 66 and cloudy here this mornin'
Eb F Gm
I'll make a bet those clouds will turn to rain
Gm
The weather's rusted out the sign
And almost missed the turn
Eb F Gm
That'll take me down to Saunders Ferry Lane
VERSE:
Gm
The creekin' boards of the empty dock
Are the only sounds I hear
Eb F
The sign on the catfish stand says
Gm
"Closed till spring"
VERSE:
Gm
Summer drown in the frozen lake
As the winter came to life
Eb F Gm
And nothing moves in Saunders Ferry Lane
Eb F Gm
Nothing moves in Saunders Ferry Lane
VERSE:
Gm
Raindrops mingle with the leaves
That tumble to the ground
Eb F
As I find my way to the spot
Gm
Where we once lay
VERSE:
Gm
But the grass is dead
The life is gone
And the birds have flown away
Eb F Gm
It's awful cold in Saunders Ferry Lane
Eb F Gm
Awful cold in Saunders Ferry Lane
BREAK:
Eb F
The gentle arms that held me
Eb F Gm
And made me want tomorrow now are, are gone
Eb F
We found so much comfort
Eb Bb
In the way we loved each other
C
Then the angels came
F Gm
As quietly as the dawn
VERSE:
Gm
Standing by the water
In an icy winter wind
Eb F Gm
I find no present comfort for my pain
VERSE:
Gm
With no gentle arms to hold me now
I know there's nothin' worse
Eb F Gm
Than a day alone in Saunders Ferry Lane
Eb F Gm
A day alone in Saunders Ferry Lane
VERSE:
Gm
It's 32, and raining here this evening
Eb F Gm
I'll make a bet that rain will turn to snow
Gm
It's hard to see through the tears
And I almost missed the turn
Eb F Gm
That leads away from Saunders Ferry Lane
Eb F Gm
That leads away from Saunders Ferry Lane
