Asher Kramer & the Gone Astray BaNd

Lyrics

On the final day of April, the bluebells were in bloom,
The trailer’s air was filled with dust as sunbeams crossed the room,
A baby came into this world introduced to hurt,
her blood was tainted with the curse of red south Texas Dirt,
The fireflies were twinkling on that night that she was born,
She was doomed from the beginning she never saw the dawn,
The roulette wheel the poker hand the one arm bandit’s run,
All turned up empty handed for that child of the sun,
This song is for Dale’s daughter and five sisters bound by love,
This song is for the scrub-land plains and the Texas sky above,
This songs for her grandmother, this song is for her sons,,
This song is for the hope and dreams of better days to come

The footsteps in the hallway on the red schoolhouse floor,
are now buried in her memory She cannot hear them anymore,
The demon who betrayed her cannot hurt her like before,
Yet she still carries scars like a veteran of war,
Her innocence was squandered like a sacrificial pawn,
On the chessboard of circumstance in her childhood’s dawn,
Her mother turned her eyes aside, her father ran away,
Yet somehow, she survived all that and she is standing here today,
This song is for Dale’s daughter and five sisters standing tall,
This song is for everyone who lost hope before they crawled,
This songs for her grandmother, this song is for her sons,
This song is a prayer of hope for better days to come

In her happiness all the light of the universe will glow,
Better days will come girl, better days will come,
When her sadness and despair appear all the tears of heaven flow,
Better days will come girl, better days will come,

She chose to keep her baby boy when she was still a child,
She worked until her hands bled, her heart was free and wild,
Like Joan of Arc, she found her strength and never did complain,
Each day she was a prisoner of loneliness and pain
The meth head country singer played her a mournful verse,
And sang to a young mother a song that was a curse,
Through blackened eyes she saved her boys like a tiger on the trail,
She found a way to walk away from that lonely jail,
This song is for Dale’s daughter and five sisters of love and faith,
This song is for a woman who survived the devil’s wraith,
This song is for salvation and the place where we come from,
This song is a reminder that better days will come

She traded her musician for a conman on a ranch,
She did it for her children she never had a chance,
The only love she’s ever known came from a devil’s brew,
That was the only choice she had and that’s the card she drew,
She loved to ride her horse across the barren Texas plains,
to escape the endless sorrow that caught her in its chains,
He tried to keep her prisoner with anger and abuse ,
she got away and left him when she knew it was no use,
This song is for Dale’s daughter and four sisters who survive,
This song is for the faith and endless strength to stay alive,
This song is for remembrance of the place where love comes from,
Let’s drink a cup of kindness for better days to come

In her happiness all the light of the universe will glow,
Better days will come boys, better days will come,
When her sadness and despair appear all the tears of heaven flow,
Better days will come boys, better days will come

I met her in the autumn within the seasons gloom,
A prisoner of consequence stranded in her room,
There are prisons of the body there are prisons of the mind,
There are prisoners of circumstance that fate has left behind,
Now she’s standing at the crossroad the dark clouds rise above,
To the left is repetition to the right is faith and love,
Behind her lie the ruins that should have crushed her heart,
Shining bright before her is the chance for a new start,
This song is for Dale’s daughter and five sisters bound by love,
This song is for the scrub-land plains and the Texas sky above,
This songs for her grandmother, this song is for her sons,
This song is for the hope and dreams of better days to come,

The setting of the sun, the rising of the moon,
Are whispering that a better day is coming soon,
The waning of the moon, the rising of the sun,
Every day that she’s alive will be a better day to come
