Casimir Pulaski Day

[00:15.03] Goldenrod and the four H stone
[00:18.53] The things I brought you
[00:20.13] When I found out you had cancer of the bone
[00:24.41]
[00:29.84] Your father cried on the telephone
[00:33.20] And he drove his car into the Navy yard
[00:36.92] Just to prove that he was sorry
[00:39.36]
[00:44.36] In the morning, through the window shade
[00:48.20] When the light pressed up against your shoulder blade
[00:51.88] I could see what you were reading
[00:54.36]
[00:59.35] All the glory that the Lord has made
[01:03.20] And the complications you could do without
[01:06.96] When I kissed you on the mouth
[01:10.28]
[01:29.93] Tuesday night at the Bible study
[01:33.43] We lift our hands and pray over your body
[01:37.15] But nothing ever happens
[01:39.63]
[01:45.38] I remember at Michael's house
[01:48.78] In the living room when you kissed my neck
[01:52.78] And I almost touched your blouse
[01:56.06]
[02:00.33] In the morning, at the top of the stairs
[02:04.45] When your father found out what we did that night
[02:08.40] And you told me you were scared
[02:11.54]
[02:15.72] All the glory when you ran outside
[02:20.21] With your shirt tucked in and your shoes untied
[02:24.24] And you told me not to follow you
[02:26.73]
[03:04.05] Sunday night when I cleaned the house
[03:07.83] I find the card where you wrote it out
[03:11.46] With the pictures of your mother
[03:13.99]
[03:19.86] On the floor at the great divide
[03:23.27] With my shirt tucked in and my shoes untied
[03:27.18] I am crying in the bathroom
[03:29.87]
[03:34.86] In the morning when you finally go
[03:39.02] And the nurse runs in with her head hung low
[03:42.89] And the cardinal hits the window
[03:45.45]
[03:50.57] In the morning in the winter shade
[03:54.82] On the first of March, on the holiday
[03:59.17] I thought I saw you breathing
[04:01.30]
[04:06.54] All the glory that the Lord has made
[04:10.77] And the complications when I see his face
[04:14.70] In the morning in the window
[04:17.25]
[04:22.32] All the glory when he took our place
[04:26.72] But he took my shoulders and he shook my face
[04:30.73] And he takes and he takes and he takes
[04:34.32]
