lyrics

Soon after the snow caps melt
and send the water rushing down
the flowers will bloom
in the valley by your house
and I will go down there
to thaw myself out.

I’m not a praying man
ever since you’ve been gone
but I can still recite
all of your favorite psalms
“my shield and my glory,
you're my only hope”
oh lord I miss you so much

there’s a train at the station
three times I bought my ticket out
but I haven’t left yet.
I don’t know how to leave this town

I fought your pa at the bar one night
he knocked out two of my teeth
you’d be so ashamed
if you could see us from wherever you are

I can still see the spot
from the bedroom window of my house
where your brothers dug the grave
and we laid your body down
under the willow tree
