about

From the album: Gifts and Testaments of Robin Hood Road

A chronology about the entrance of my sister-in-law, Christine, into the Fortman family, and the wonderful life and family she and my brother, Brent, built together. I am so blessed that I got to be a part of their lives.

lyrics

"Eagle Mountain Rose"
By Jon Charles Fortman

(verse 1)
Found a prairie flower
When Cowboys ruled the world
Still we had to wonder
Do roses bloom in Baltimore?

Then soldiers came to carry you
Donned in gold and blue
Oh how brief it took me to
Believe that

(chorus)
In the garden of my heart
Someone planted love and beauty
Tilled my soul from dawn to dark
With her Winecup seed

All the strength of Austin stone
And the grace to make her own home
Harbor for a wounded warrior
In a Lone Star Fall

(verse 2)
Saw you march on Georgia
Proud as Billy T.
Who’d have thought Savannah
Could fall again so easily?

So meet me on a Thistle Hill
And vow you never will
Be without the blossom smile
That’s sown deep

(repeat chorus)

(break 1)
A ring a wreath a vow for life
Stand with me and be my wife
We will survive the days
And live to sip our Montrachet

(verse 3)
Soon our bouquet grows by one
As a girl or son
Now we know petals will flow
Forever

(repeat chorus)

(break 2)
Cradle me in the Winter's cold
Run through me in the Autumn Gold
Scatter me over Kimbell Green
Sit with me when your eyes won't dream
