Poison Red Berries
You know I don't think much
About her no more....
And seldom, if ever
Does she cross my mind....
Yesterday's gone, and it's better forgotten;
Like the poison red berries to die
On the vine.....
This morning at dawn, Lord
I pulled into town;
Had some coffee and talked
With some old friends of mine
Laughing at all the good times they remembered...
And then I remembered the time...........
Oh, Lord, I can see the bright lights back in Dallas
As yesterday moves like a dream through my mind....
I didn't suppose that I'd ever forget her...
And you know it took such a long time........
But you know, I don't think much
About her no more....
And seldom, if ever
Does she cross my mind....
Yesterday's gone, and it's better forgotten;
Just like the poison red berries that cling
To the mind.....
