Wrought Iron Fences

Wrought Iron Fences - Kate Campbell/Rodney Crowell/Nanci Griffith

Tangled vines cover the lattice

They creep and crawl around the house

Nobody lives there

Only ghosts hang around

I have seen hope and glory fade away

I've heard old folks talk of better days

And all that's left to guard the remains

Are wrought iron fences

Sarah Mae bore two children

One died at birth and one at shiloh

Now they're on a hill long forgotten

Carved in stone

I have seen hope and glory fade away

I've heard old folks talk of better days

And all that's left to guard the remains

Are wrought iron fences

Years go by and everything changes

But nothing does

I have seen hope and glory fade away

I've heard old folks talk of better days

And all that's left to guard the remains

Are wrought iron fences
