I walk tired on the field
With a bottle in my hand
Tired from what I'd carried a lot
First flowers of the year
Were bloomin' in the yard
And I said, "Oh my Lord, I'm tryin'"
And you said
"I don't mind waitin' for you
On a rainy monday mornin'
At the airport at the start of June
Or in the chaos of the station
When they call the cancellation
I'll be there if you ask me to"
But if I leave
Like I done so many times before
Oh my God, please
Let me come back in one piece once more
Six years on the run
And I didn't say a word
You're the only bridge that never burns
I tried to find another
A company of lovers
Then I said, "Oh my Lord, I'm dyin'"
And you said
"I don't mind bein' patient
It's not an easy situation
I'll be there if you ask me to"
So I said, "Finally I'm ready
To drop the rock that's heavy
I'm down to try forever with you"
You never leave
Like I done so many times before
Oh my God, please
Let me come back in one piece once more
