The Ground She Walked On

(الألبوم: Curtis Grimes - 2021)

He wears the same suit every Sunday
She's not there to straighten his tie
He'll be back in the fields come Monday
Where he spent most of his life

We thought he came 'cause she made him
At least that's what we used to say
But now he's there every time the doors open
So he can see her again someday

He stands up and he sings rock of ages
He fumbles to find at the cross
He feels returning the pages
As if she was singing along
When he puts his tires in the off ramp
Somewhere in his heart she's not gone
'Cause that old man still worships
God and the ground she walked on

Every morning he walks in her garden
But he ain't really sure what it needs
Well, she knew how to make it blossom
But now he's just water and weeds

The sun wants to move him to Phoenix
The bank says they'll buy back the farm
But he pretends that he don't hear 'em
'Cause he'd never leave her alone

He stands up and he sings rock of ages
He fumbles to find at the cross
He feels returning the pages
As if she was singing along
When he puts his tires in the off ramp
Somewhere in his heart she's not gone
'Cause that old man still worships
God and the ground she walked on
'Cause that old man still worships
God and the ground she walked on

At the cross, at the cross
Where I first saw the light
And burden of my sin rolled away
