"Little New Bern" lyrics - THE WAR AND TREATY

THE WAR AND TREATY
"Little New Bern"
(Michael Trotter, Jr.)

There's a house in my dreams
Sitting on Grand Lane
I can hear her grandma sing
While the morning sun's awake
My grandpa was a gravedigger
Paid the bills to rest his head
He wanted no courage
When he's gone and dead

[Chorus:]
One thing I learned
I won't forget Little New Bern

Take my hand and I'll take yours
Feel my heart beating fast
There is so much in store
Who said good things can't last?
This moment had a curse
Leaves you longing for more
Won't taste this [] grace
Eat your heart out any more

[Chorus:]
One thing I learned
I won't forget Little New Bern

Would you please take me back
To the place where lovers pray
There is where my heart is at
There is so much more to say
