Come Live With Me

come live with me by the piney woods
near the river that turns toward the sea
In the meadow we'll build our home
and together plant a sweet apple tree

near the river that turns toward the sea
we can greet each coming of spring
and together plant a sweet apple tree
working until fall's harvest comes

we can greet each coming of spring
In the meadow we'll build our home
working until fall's harvest comes
come live with me by the piney woods

Big congrats on your win, dear LNC. Maybe we can erect our teepee by this river. You're still in charge of the firewood. Feeling a bit better today and am trying to catch up on some comments. Love, Carolyn
