DGolden rod and the 4C-H stone
AmThe things I brought you
When I Gfound out you had Dcancer of the bone C
DYour father cried on the Ctelephone
And he Amdrove his car to theG Navy yard
Just to Dprove that he was sorryC
In the Dmorning through the Cwindow shade
When the Amlight pressed up against youGr shoulder blade
I could Dsee what you were readingC
Oh the Dglory that the Clord has made
And the Amcomplications you could Gdo without
When I Dkissed you on the mouthC
DTuesday night at the Cbible study
We Amlift our hands and Gpray over your body
But Dnothing ever happensC
DI remember at CMichael's house
In the Amliving room when you Gkissed my neck
And I Dalmost touched your blouseC
In the Dmorning at the Ctop of the stairs
When your Amfather found out what we Gdid that night
And you Dtold me you were scaredC
Oh the Dglory when you ran Coutside
With your Amshirt tucked in and your Gshoes untied
And you Dtold me not to follow you C
DSunday night when I Ccleaned the house
I Amfind the card where you Gwrote it out
With the Dpictures of your mother C
DOn the floor at the Cgreat divide
With my Amshirt tucked in and my Gshoes untied
I am Dcrying in the bathroom C
In the Dmorning when you Cfinally go
And the Amnurse runs in with her Ghead hung low
And the Dcardinal hits the window C
In the Dmorning in the Cwinter shade
On the Amfirst of March on theG holiday
I Dthought I saw you breathing C
Oh the Dglory that the Clord has made
And the Amcomplications when I Gsee his face
In the Dmorning in the window C
Oh the Dglory when he Ctook our place
But he Amtook my shoulders and he Gshook my face
And he Dtakes and he takes and he Ctakes
