lyrics

Wild Iris is weeping
As she walks through the pines
She’s grieving her father
Who died in the mines
She’s missing her mother
Who’s gone like the wind and
She’s thinking ‘bout freedom
Survival and sin

Wild Iris is waking
At the break of the dawn
She’s aching for her lover
Who’s been gone too long
She dances with heartbreak
Just like it’s a friend and
She wishes tomorrow
Might not come again

Wild Iris is waiting
At the top of the hill
She’s mixing the moonshine
That flows through her still
And all those lost souls
With their hours to kill
Come to sip from her spirit
At the top of the hill

Wild Iris is waning
By the light of the moon
She’s thinking about packing and
Leaving real soon
She whispers her sorrows
Out into the sky and
She waits on somebody
To tell her goodbye

Wild Iris is waltzing
At the edge of the night
She’s searching for something
To make her soul right
She’s picking the flowers
That gave her her name
But no one can pick her
She’ll never be tame
