Subject: Lyr Add: THE RETURN (Ferron)
Can we do this? I know it is copyrighted, according to the cassette I have, in 1983 by Nemesis Publishing and 1984 by Lucy Records. If so, here it is:

RETURN
(Ferron)

Refrain:
To lay my head on your blessed arm
I take my cue from the willow tree,
for it don't break from just one storm,
but bends with a strength that sets it free.

Verses:

When I was young my love was bold
Bold like rock and rock like cold
Kind love came and said it would be true
But I turned away as though I always knew

That bonds are formed from outside time
Our major goal is to absolve our crimes
Let your steps be travelled with that knowing smile
It's no toss of coins that longest mile

For those who think don't analyze
For those who weep, dry your eyes to see
It's from those we've served, a paradise
And from those we've wronged, pure ectasy

Because happiness is a moment's glance
The spin inside the circle's charm
And I walked my line to have my chance
To lay my head on your blessed arm.
Line Breaks <br> added (sigh).
