Steve Earle(born January 17, 1955) is a singer-songwriterbest known for his countrymusic and rock 'n roll tinged " alt-country." He is also a published writer, a keen political activist (particularly in protesting against the death penalty in the U.S., as in his song "Ellis Unit One" from the movie Dead Man Walking), and has written and directed a play. Born in Hampton, Virginia, legend has it that a box of Texas dirt, sent by his grandfather, was brought into the delivery room, so that it could be said that the first soil Earle's feet ever touched was Texan. He moved around the U.S. with his parents, before dropping out of school in the 8th grade and heading to Houston, Texas, to explore a career in music. In 1975, he moved to Nashville and worked as a songwriter.

Arianne Lyrics
Steve Earle
Its getting light, its getting late
And Ive looked everywhere and called her name
Her dad the doctors down
The sheriffs standing round
Arianne
We sat by the rivers edge
I slipped in and she slipped off her dress
She stepped cautiously
Into that shining stream
Arianne
Theres a place that I can go
Where her memory still flows
It cuts a deeper path
With every season past
Arianne
I can see her as she sleeps
A face as still as that river is deep
Leaves are turning round
White arms, hair of brown
Arianne
Theres a place that I can go
Where her memory still flows
It cuts a deeper path
With every season past
Arianne
