Verne Garrison (aka Lake Fork Verne)

Lake Fork Verne and his banjo. Original country and Americana songs. Songs of yesteryear, growing up during the great depression 1930's and the way things are

Just me and my banjo...writing and singing about how things used to be long ago in the 30;s and 40's and how those experiences affect today. I started out wanting to get on record these stories and songs for my grandchildren; but after doing it for a while, others have expresses interest so we are recording and putting them out there.

Story behind the song

Shadows on clear fall day sun shining thru a window in my "Crow's Nest" office at sunrise....

Shadows On My Wall

   E
Shadows on my wall
  A                 E
And it will soon be Fall

The shadows, they lengthen
        B7                  E
Father time, He catches us all


What seems like only yesterday,
   A                              E
They were over in the corner of my room
                              B7
And now they bend toward the ceiling
                              E
Early morn, I get that eerie feeling


Time is closing in,
       A
And I wonder,
                        E
Will He let me see them again,
          B7             E
Or maybe watch from over yonder

                              A
Will I make it to the Spring thaw
                                       E
Or will  it be the last shadow, I ever saw
                     A
Those shadows on my wall,
                              E
Will it be the last shadow of all?

               A              E
Tag:  The last shadow I ever saw?
