Doctor, Oh Doctor

(album: From The Top Of Willamette Mountain - 2012)

Doctor, oh doctor, please bring me my wine
All the nights to remember are getting harder to find
And more words serve confusion to each corner of my mind
Baby, call me up when you get some time

Emma, dearest Emma, please have patience with me sweet
I know the road seems forever, but in time our hearts will meet
And we'll dance across the crystal floor, into our love retreat
There's nothing in this world that could ever mean more to me

So I'll stay with you until the morning
When the golden sun shades the moon
And when the black disease eats away both you and me
Oh baby, I'm gonna live and die right next to you

Mother, my companion, please remember what I said
I know my words they might confuse you, floating up inside your head
And though you paint your house bright blue, and I paint my house red
There's always middle ground on which to stand

Father my protector, please watch over and keep me safe
And if you get discouraged about this son you have raised
Don't you dwell on the past of your life's revolving stage
The love that you've taught will forever in my heart remain

So I'll pray with you until the Lord comes
The Golden Priest on his steed
And when the day arrives that the angels take your life
If there is a heaven won't you send me down a sign?
If there is a heaven I will meet you on the other side
