Jenny Stiles Lyrics

I followed you down these halls

Where people groan, people call

Begging for a single touch

I watch them twice as much

So very young, I would not guess

So deep in soul and gentleness

I followed right through the door

And bravely sang this troubadour

The heartsick, the lonely

You gave them your smile

You did not once fail them

Jenny, Jenny Stiles

The conversations that we had

About my Mom, about your Dad

I chased your dog across the yard

On a day so clean, so blue and hard

You lined up the wheelchairs

You knelt in the aisles

You loved the unlovely

Jenny, Jenny Stiles

I visited your town again

Inquiring of my gentle Jen

The words return such pain to me

You're ever gone, suddenly

I chase the tears, and yet they come

I song for you is on my tongue

So I sing this quiet prayer

Gentle one so young and fair

Songs by the hundreds

So many the miles

But I'll not forget you

Jenny, Jenny Stiles
