If I should loose my way, and forget the place,
Where I once laid beneath the alter,
My head across your knees, I fell asleep,
As you cried out to the father.
With hands you held so tight, mother I heard you cry,
Like a new born baby,
At last the morning came, to ease your pain,
Oh what a beautiful lady.

If I should loose control, let daddy know,
I never meant to make him worry,
They took the world from me, and hid the key,
When I looked back I saw you hurting.
The boys your raised to men, with a holy hand,
Have left your side and gone crazy,
And yet they've not returned, your love is firm,
And your still praying for your babies.

If I forget my way, to the holy gates,
Will you take my hand and lead me,
And if I can't hold on, when the roads too long,
Will you reach your arms to save me.
If you should pass a creek, remember me,
And how I fell into the levi,
The wind that blocked the way, I turned to say,
And you'd became a lovely lady.

I if i should come to laugh, at the times that passed,
Will you join right in beside me,
When love begins to fail, remember the well,
Where we played until the evening.
Where we lost our way, in the woods that day,
Somehow we made it back to safety,
But now that time is gone, we've moved along,
Oh brother please can you forgive me.

If I should have to leave, remember me,
And how I walked along the hollow creek,
The night beneath the rain, the moment came,
And then it passed before the morning.
If time should pass us by, and the well runs dry,
Don't forget the way the wind blow's,
In the fields, where time stood still,
We'll meet again beneath the willow.
