The Widow Songtext

The Widow Songtext
Dead man, were you ever alive or was I just a seed
Buried deep inside some woman you wed
Right before you crawled out of her bed and crept down the hall?
Did you think of me?
Did you even for a second hesitate, in the doorway?
It′s just something I'd like to know
Though I′d still love you if you told me
That you just walked away
My God, what a world you love
Men bury their sons, and without thought, they just walk away
And my mother's heart breaks like the water inside of her
And my mother's heart breaks like the water inside of her
Dead man, is it being high that makes you alive?
It makes you leave behind three boys and a wife, in ′89
And as the track marks inch their way up your arm
My mother taught my brothers and I not to call you Daddy, but to call you Father
But I believe there is something here to be learned of grace
′Cause I can't help but love you
No, I can′t help but love you
Even with a heart that breaks, like the promises that you made
Like the promises that you made
The promises that you made
'Cause I can′t help but love you
My God, what a world you love
Buried deep inside some woman you wed
Right before you crawled out of her bed and crept down the hall?
Did you think of me?
Did you even for a second hesitate, in the doorway?
It′s just something I'd like to know
Though I′d still love you if you told me
That you just walked away
My God, what a world you love
Men bury their sons, and without thought, they just walk away
And my mother's heart breaks like the water inside of her
And my mother's heart breaks like the water inside of her
Dead man, is it being high that makes you alive?
It makes you leave behind three boys and a wife, in ′89
And as the track marks inch their way up your arm
My mother taught my brothers and I not to call you Daddy, but to call you Father
But I believe there is something here to be learned of grace
′Cause I can't help but love you
No, I can′t help but love you
Even with a heart that breaks, like the promises that you made
Like the promises that you made
The promises that you made
'Cause I can′t help but love you
My God, what a world you love
