Tom Flannery - Belt Buckles lyrics

Of what I've seen I cannot tell No words exist to pa** it well But the eyes of a child need to understand What drove a man from his beloved land They hear me speak with gentle tongue They hear the songs that need be sung They see the eyes but not the soul For that won't come until they're old Chorus: River rolls by without a sound Trying not to disturb this sacred ground That keeps a child warm at night And keeps them belt buckles tight Potato was life then it was gone Did what it could then moved along Seemed to carry the good Lord with it too Maybe he had other things to do So sleep my child under peaceful skies For I'll comfort you when you shake and cry Oh pray tell me years are few But the good Lord has returned in you (chorus)
