Yarrow

Words and Music, Michelle Wooderson

It’s a long way home
O yarrow lead me on
I have many burdens to bear
This old heart is tired,
and the road’s been hard
O yarrow, yarrow lead me on

I have seen you grow in wasteland, in stone
I could use your courage now
As I walk this road
I have seen you grow, in wasteland, in stone
O yarrow, yarrow lead me on

Your wisdom with me
Your healing balm
Stay near me darling
Keep me from harm

Well my heart’s been set on another shore
And I’ve passed this way
forty summers or more
Give me one last chance to turn things back
O yarrow, yarrow lead me on

This road I travel I must go alone
With old buck moon my friend
As the light grows dim at my journey’s end
O yarrow, yarrow lead me on
O yarrow, yarrow lead me on
