Recorded in the shed in the backyard of the 202 Brewster St.

lyrics

Oh Lord, why did you take her from me?
I promised her that I would lay her down safe.
I did not hear my baby’s cry when they took flight.

We searched six long days through the fields and in the trees.
But we could not find any trace of her or resembled life.
The nights seemed wasted and we could not fight the oncoming light.

Because I was tired and I’ve been waiting for you to come along and see
That the sky isn’t the only thing that shines so blue for you.

The frosts they came fast and winter tumbled in just like a gymnast
And it froze to rock-hard soul that had packed its way around my heart
I did not understand the evidence at hand that the deputy did have.

Because I’m tired and I’m waiting for you to come along and see
That the sky isn’t the only thing that shines so blue for you.

I heard the children scream, “oh mr, mr, mr, please.”
As they slid all frightened on their hands and knees across the lake.
They cheeks were frostbit and their sweat had dried to turn to ice.

I could barely see through the faded glass to her face underneath
Her lips were pursed sad and blue like I was meant to kiss them
And so I knelt down closer to where she chose to hide all those days and nights.

When I was tired and I was waiting for you to come along and see
That the sky isn’t the only thing that shines so blue for you.
